Does it work under baremetal?

What is the host_pio_base?

Is the host_pio_base part of the permitted IO ports? (you can
see that if you run 'xl debug-keys q' and it should show you something
like this:

(XEN) Rangesets belonging to domain 1:
(XEN)     I/O Ports  { b400-b41f, b800-b81f }
(XEN)     Interrupts { 18-19, 54-55 }
(XEN)     I/O Memory { fe940-fe9ff }
(XEN) Memory pages belonging to domain 1:

(you can get that from xm dmesg).

As you can see, the b400->b41f are allowed in the domain 1. Is your
host_pio_base in there?

Yes, and I think I saw somebody ask me about that too.

Lets rope them in this converstation - they got it to work
but my memory is foggy at what was required.

Ben, Thomas,

I remember you guys had a tough time with vd86 which did something simila=
r
and it ultimately was due to to /dev/mem not passing in VM_IO. But the
ioperm/outb sounds familiar too. Was there a missing hypercall when
forking/copying the ioperm bitmap?
