Just in case someone were to be incredibly intelligent and try to use legacy assignment and vfio in the same system, we can't just disable the global strict_acs check. Besides, even if the strict ACS check is disabled, we still go poking around in sysfs (calling virPCIDeviceIsBehindSwitchLackingACS()), which we really *don't* want to do, as that is causing problems for people attempting to do vfio device assignment from a session-mode libvirt (which should otherwise work as long as the device is pre-bound to vfio-pci and all the device node permissions are set). Who wants to do vfio device assignment from session-mode libvirt? gnome-boxes of course! They want to do GPU passthrough. > > ACK as-is.
