In fact you can take a random PCI card and expose it to a guest this way; it doesn't have to be SR-IOV. Of course, with a standard PCI card you won't get much sharing (a quad port NIC will be good for four guests). We'll need other changes in the network stack, but these are orthogonal to SR-IOV. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
