[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 7/7] xen/dom0: Add a dom0-iommu=none option

2019-01-16 Thread Andrew Cooper
For development purposes, it is very convenient to boot Xen as a PVH guest, with an XTF PV or PVH "dom0". The edit-compile-go cycle is a matter of seconds, and you can reasonably insert printk() debugging in places which which would be completely infeasible when booting fully-fledged guests.
