+
+Assign platform device to domain
+--------------------------------
+
+`XenSwdgn~arm64_passthrough_assign_dt_dev_to_dom~1`
+
+Description:
+Xen shall assign a specified platform device to a domain during its creation
+using passthrough (partial) device tree.
+
+Rationale:
+
+ - The passthrough device tree is specified using a device tree module node
+ with compatible ("multiboot,device-tree") in the host device tree.
+ - The passthrough device tree shall entirely describe the platform device to
+ be passed through to a domain so the domain can discover and use the device.
+ - The intention of the platform device usage for the passthrough is specified
+ using device tree property ("xen,passthrough") in the device node described
+ in the host device tree.
+ - The memory region of the platform device and the corresponding guest address
+ for remapping are specified using the device tree property ("xen,reg") in
+ the device node described in the passthrough device tree.
+ - The path of the platform device node in the host device tree is specified
+ using the device tree property ("xen,path") in the device node described
+ in the passthrough device tree. Both interrupt mappings and IOMMU settings
+ are based on it.
+ - The allowance of the platform device assignment which is not behind an IOMMU
+ (for both non-DMA-capable and DMA-capable devices) is specified using
+ the device tree property ("xen,force-assign-without-iommu") in the device
+ node described in the passthrough device tree. The said property also allows
+ the interrupt-less platform device assignment (a device that has only
+ an memory region) without specifying the corresponding node in the host
+ device via device tree property ("xen,path").

+
+Description:
+Xen shall assign a specified PCI device to a domain during its creation using
+passthrough (partial) device tree.
+
+Rationale:
+
+ - The passthrough device tree is specified using a device tree module node
+ with compatible ("multiboot,device-tree") in the host device tree.
+ - The PCI device to be passed through is specified using device tree property
+ ("xen,pci-assigned") in the "passthrough" node described in the passthrough

+
+Notes
+=====
+
+The AMD64 PVH-specific requirements are written under the assumption that once
+the Hyperlaunch feature is completed, Xen shall assign a PCI device to boot
+time domains. This is not the case today, where the PCI device can be passed
+through only to domains launched by a control (toolstack) domain.
+
+The Arm64-specific requirements are written under the assumption that once
+the dom0less PCI Passthrough feature is completed, Xen shall assign a PCI device
+to boot time domains. This is not the case today, where only the platform device
+Passthrough is supported.
