This seems like a big problem. How are we going to know to add these command line options for devices we haven't even seen/known about yet? How do we know the bus ids aren't going to change between boots (hint, they are, pci bus ids change all the time...) We need to be able to do this kind of thing dynamically, not fixed at boot time, which seems way to early to even know about this, right? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
