This isn't all that special - it's pretty common for IOMMUs to be pci devices. The solution is to have the device on bus 0. For example, add it with DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY or DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_CLASS_EARLY in e.g. arch/x86/kernel/quirks.c or drivers/pci/quirks.c You can also use the configuration access capability if there's need to access the device before its memory is enabled. > Maybe we could store the info in a separate > memory region, that is referenced on the command-line and that the guest > can read early. > > Thanks, > Jean The point is to avoid command line hacks. Devices should be self describing. -- MST
