Description of problem: I figured this will probably be a good thing to have, so I'll open up the BZ myself. It would be very nice to have pci passthrough support available for RHEL4 PV. The implementation shouldn't be all that complex; we have most of the infrastructure already, it's just a matter of getting the code from RHEL-5 and hacking it up to work with RHEL-4, and then doing the associated testing. Hopefully we can get this into 4.6.
Created attachment 152962 [details] Preliminary RHEL-4 PV pcifront patch This is a very preliminary patch against 2.6.9-54 that adds pcifront support to PV. It has only been compile and boot tested on i686; I'll need to do the same for x86_64, and then, of course, test :). Chris Lalancette
Created attachment 152963 [details] Preliminary .config file for RHEL-4 pcifront support This is a .config file for 2.6.9-54 that adds the minimal config options needed to enable pcifront support for PV. Note that none of the usual drivers are enabled; to really make this useful, we will probably have to enable most of the normal PCI drivers that a RHEL-4 kernel has. Chris Lalancette
Closing this out until somebody asks for this feature in RHEL-4. Chris Lalancette
