Congratulations, it's always good to see the development moving forward!

There is one thing I wonder though when it comes to PCI passthrough:

Can Xen reset hardware through the d3d0 in the ACPI interface and/or through a 'bus reset' or a 'link reset'? Or can it reset hardware that is marked for passthrough only through FLR?

For details see e.g.

Regards

Robin.
