To extend this question - there's also xen's pciback, but I don't know enough
about Xen to tell if it's still in use.
Yes, it is still in use.
Might be worth dropping that too,
becasue it looks a lot like pci-stub (used for KVM assignment). And because of
that I can't really drop all the functions, only very few. Jim?
Nooooooo! Please don't drop (or break) functionality related to xen-pciback :-).
BTW: does Xen's kernel have 'driver_override' file for
PCI devices? See
virPCIDeviceBindWithDriverOverride() for more info.
Yes, xen supports driver_override.
But if it does, I'd like to
also drop the old 'newid' style of overriding kernel driver and leave us with
solely with 'driver_override' (introduced in kernel-3.16.0 so I guess everybody
has it).
Would be nice to kill the 'newid' handling. I thought it sounded familiar, and
not in a good way:
70f83f9d526 (Jim Fehlig 2016-08-01 21:36:45 -0600 1265) * to the unpleasant
new_id interface.
