You've basically described a wonky NESTING domain. I think you should just use nested domains for this. Even though there is no S2 make it possible to create a nested domain through the viommu.. If hyperv ever learns to support VIOMMU you will need this anyhow to pass vSTE/vDTE/etc to hyperv. For now the nesting domain creation can just accept an empty struct or something which means identity? Jason
