Can you describe what you would like to do with PCI passthrough?
The goal atm is to deploy osol as a Xen Guest (for now, on Linux
host), as ZFS-based NAS.
We'd like to pass a PCI SATA card (Sil 3124, JBOD, RAID in software)
from Dom0 to DomU, with I/O handled in the guest.
This isn't, I'm afraid, going to work in the first phase, which is
Solaris domU on Solaris dom0 only.
The team working on the project determined that they could not meet
their fault management requirements with the existing frontend/backend
protocol and so have implemented an extension. Providing a either a
Linux implementation of the extension or a variant which supports the
standard protocol is on the 'to do' list, but it won't happen for the
first putback.
