Isn't VT-d only for VMs directly talking to the hardware, bypassing the host? You can run VMs with decent speed using virtualized drivers without VT-d (and unless you have storage controllers and network interfaces dedicated to each VM, virtualized drivers is the only secure method). -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
