Hi,

Can someone tell my if my understanding is correct or not. Currently,
KVM only use IOMMU to allow PCI/PCI Express device to be assigned as a
PCI device inside guest OS. So right now guest OS does not see IOMMU
as a device, but this may change when IOMMU emulation (I saw some
patches on the list) is merged into development branch.
