Hi,

No such luck I'm afraid.

Here is the original XML:

    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x1'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07'
function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x2'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x08'
function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>

The only difference from your recommended change is the target (I take
it they are target addresses for the VM?) addresses run:
0000:00:06.0
0000:00:07.0
0000:00:08.0

Instead of:
0000:00:06.0
0000:00:06.1
0000:00:06.2

Regardless, I still changed test.xml to:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x0'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x1'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x1'/>
    </hostdev>
    <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
      <source>
        <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x08' slot='0x06' function='0x2'/>
      </source>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06'
function='0x2'/>
    </hostdev>

To no effect.

In qemu.conf, user and group were commented out, I uncommented both
and they were both already set to root.

After both a restart of libvirt-bin and the pc itself, no change.

Finally, here is the very latest dmesg:
http://pastebin.com/9HE61K62

Does anybody know the debug kernel switches for iommu?

Many Thanks,

James.
