As Max says, the work for direct IO would allow a PCI device to be accessed from a guest domain. You could use this to pass a USB controller through. My hacky prototype for PV guests supports this, but there are lots of remaining issues. In parallel we're working to add similar support for HVM guests, which may be more usable earlier. It's a couple of months away from hitting OpenSolaris, at the earliest. After that there will be some integration with the management tools required in order that xVM Server can expose the functionality. Linux on Xen has (had?) some support for virtualised USB access, but we haven't seriously looked at adding that. _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
