additional piece of information will be set in the flags bitmap.
+4.47 KVM_ASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Assigns a host PCI device to the VM.
+
+struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev {
+ __u32 assigned_dev_id;
+ __u32 busnr;
+ __u32 devfn;
+ __u32 flags;
+ __u32 segnr;
+ union {
+ __u32 reserved[11];
+ };
+};
+
+The PCI device is specified by the triple segnr, busnr, and devfn.
+Identification in succeeding service requests is done via assigned_dev_id. The
+following flags are specified:
+
+/* Depends on KVM_CAP_IOMMU */
+#define KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_ENABLE_IOMMU (1 << 0)
+
+4.48 KVM_DEASSIGN_PCI_DEVICE
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_DEASSIGNMENT
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Ends PCI device assignment, releasing all associated resources.
+
+See KVM_CAP_DEVICE_ASSIGNMENT for the data structure. Only assigned_dev_id is
+used in kvm_assigned_pci_dev to identify the device.
+
+4.49 KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_irq (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Assigns an IRQ to a passed-through device.
+
+struct kvm_assigned_irq {
+ __u32 assigned_dev_id;
+ __u32 host_irq;
+ __u32 guest_irq;
+ __u32 flags;
+ union {
+ struct {
+ __u32 addr_lo;
+ __u32 addr_hi;
+ __u32 data;
+ } guest_msi;
+ __u32 reserved[12];
+ };
+};
+
+The following flags are defined:
+
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_INTX (1 << 0)
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSI (1 << 1)
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_HOST_MSIX (1 << 2)
+
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_INTX (1 << 8)
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_MSI (1 << 9)
+#define KVM_DEV_IRQ_GUEST_MSIX (1 << 10)
+
+It is not valid to specify multiple types per host or guest IRQ. However, the
+IRQ type of host and guest can differ or can even be null.
+
+4.50 KVM_DEASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_irq (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Ends an IRQ assignment to a passed-through device.
+
+See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure. The target device is specified
+by assigned_dev_id, flags must correspond to the IRQ type specified on
+KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ. Partial deassignment of host or guest IRQ is allowed.
+
+4.51 KVM_SET_GSI_ROUTING
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_IRQ_ROUTING
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_irq_routing (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Sets the GSI routing table entries, overwriting any previously set entries.
+
+struct kvm_irq_routing {
+ __u32 nr;
+ __u32 flags;
+ struct kvm_irq_routing_entry entries[0];
+};

+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_msix_nr (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Set the number of MSI-X interrupts for an assigned device. This service can
+only be called once in the lifetime of an assigned device.
+
+struct kvm_assigned_msix_nr {
+ __u32 assigned_dev_id;
+ __u16 entry_nr;

+Capability: KVM_CAP_DEVICE_MSIX
+Architectures: x86 ia64
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_msix_entry (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Specifies the routing of an MSI-X assigned device interrupt to a GSI. Setting
+the GSI vector to zero means disabling the interrupt.
+
+struct kvm_assigned_msix_entry {
+ __u32 assigned_dev_id;
+ __u32 gsi;
