Disabled by default (enable with hypervisor command line option).
This feature is not security supported: see http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-163.html
+### x86/PCI Device Passthrough
+
+ Status: Supported, with caveats
+
+Only systems using IOMMUs will be supported.
+
+Not compatible with migration, altp2m, introspection, memory sharing, or memory paging.
+
+Because of hardware limitations
+(affecting any operating system or hypervisor),
+it is generally not safe to use this feature
+to expose a physical device to completely untrusted guests.
+However, this feature can still confer significant security benefit
+when used to remove drivers and backends from domain 0
+(i.e., Driver Domains).
+See docs/PCI-IOMMU-bugs.txt for more information.
