Description Don Dugger 2010-05-13 03:44:59 UTC

Upstream Xen had a problem that Niantic VFs couldn't be assigned because the
PCIe capability structure was all 0's, a patch to fix that was pushed upstream.

backported this fix to RHEL, this fix went into Xen 3.4.2.

According to Dexuan Cui the change sets are as follows:

2) to assign the Niantic VF to PV DomU(rather than Dom0), Dom0 needs the
patches: upstream linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree's
