Subject: same IRQ pci passthrough and ps/2 passthrough

Hi,
I'm just experimenting with KVM because of VGA passthrough (attempted
that previously on xen, failed).
Clean instalation of Centos 6.6 with KVM from repo.
first problem I've stumbled upon is that I din't manage to pass in some
PCI devices. They share IRQ, even if I add them both, it fails on the
first one in list (qemu complains I'm trying to pass something that
shares IRQ). Is there any way around that? I could pass those devices in
xen (hvm guest, therefore qemu too), they worked (even separately)
second thing I'd like to setup is ps/2 passthrough (laptop keyboard and
touchpad) - though I've found nothing on that. Is it even possible?
what I'm trying to achieve is that I'll have minimal hypervisor and I'll
pass all periphetals to the work guest, so I can have some applications
as services on another VMs (in somehow safer environment in case some
app is unsafe and the machine (VM) get's ever compromised) and I don't
have one super-polluted workstation, but work one, where I have the I/O
and bunch of headless ones I run optionally as I need them :)
Thanks in advance,
Gh.
