I continued with "git bisect bad" from this point on, but up to where I=
=20
started, no revision supported device assignment.

I then did a "git bisect reset" and started over again. Now I continued=
=20
with a few "git bisect good" until a revision came up that supported=20
device assignment, but then after compiling and running=20
qemu-system-x86_64, it exited with a segmentation fault. I continued=20
with "git bisect good" until the end but all revision supporting device=
=20
assignment existed with a segmentation fault.

How come so many revision do not support device assignment? Is there a=20
trick to enable it?

Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.
