That seems a bit confusing, qemu should take the reset group information and encode it so that the guest can know it as well. If all it does is blindly invoke the hot_reset with the right parameters then what was the point of all this discussion? > btw. Another question about this new _INFO ioctl.

Yeah, it should EPERM the same as the normal hot reset if it can't marshal the device list. Jason
