As I read that, it looks like an *option* for a different mechanism for pciback. IOW, pciback should still work on conventional systems, but could, on VT-d enabled system, use this different mechanism. And that's the limits of my xen knowledge. good luck. I'll be listening for a solution as my xen host hasn't been upgraded yet... A
