+xl-pci-configuration - XL PCI Configuration Syntax

+=head1 SYNTAX
+
+This document specifies the format for B<PCI_SPEC_STRING> which is used by
+the L<xl.cfg(5)> pci configuration option, and related L<xl(1)> commands.
+
+Each B<PCI_SPEC_STRING> has the form of
+B<[DDDD:]BB:DD.F[@VSLOT],KEY=VALUE,KEY=VALUE,...> where:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<[DDDD:]BB:DD.F>
+
+Identifies the PCI device from the host perspective in the domain
+(B<DDDD>), Bus (B<BB>), Device (B<DD>) and Function (B<F>) syntax. This is
+the same scheme as used in the output of B<lspci(1)> for the device in
+question.
+
+Note: by default B<lspci(1)> will omit the domain (B<DDDD>) if it
+is zero and it is optional here also. You may specify the function
+(B<F>) as B<*> to indicate all functions.
+
+=item B<@VSLOT>
+
+Specifies the virtual slot where the guest will see this
+device. This is equivalent to the B<DD> which the guest sees. In a
+guest B<DDDD> and B<BB> are C<0000:00>.
+
+=item B<permissive=BOOLEAN>
+
+By default pciback only allows PV guests to write "known safe" values
+into PCI configuration space, likewise QEMU (both qemu-xen and
+qemu-xen-traditional) imposes the same constraint on HVM guests.
+However, many devices require writes to other areas of the configuration space
+in order to operate properly. This option tells the backend (pciback or QEMU)
+to allow all writes to the PCI configuration space of this device by this
+domain.
+
+B<This option should be enabled with caution:> it gives the guest much
+more control over the device, which may have security or stability
+implications. It is recommended to only enable this option for
+trusted VMs under administrator's control.
+
+=item B<msitranslate=BOOLEAN>
+
+Specifies that MSI-INTx translation should be turned on for the PCI
+device. When enabled, MSI-INTx translation will always enable MSI on
+the PCI device regardless of whether the guest uses INTx or MSI. Some
+device drivers, such as NVIDIA's, detect an inconsistency and do not
+function when this option is enabled. Therefore the default is false (0).
+
+=item B<seize=BOOLEAN>
+
+Tells B<xl> to automatically attempt to re-assign a device to
+pciback if it is not already assigned.

+B<WARNING:> If you set this option, B<xl> will gladly re-assign a critical
+system device, such as a network or a disk controller being used by
+dom0 without confirmation. Please use with care.

+D0-D3hot power management states for the PCI device. The default is false (0).
