Hi all,

acpi=1
apic=1
pae=1
I want to convert it to a xml format for use it with libvirt/virsh but I
get an error:
"error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown"
If I comment out the line with pci = [ "01:00.0", "01:00.1",
"01:00.2",
"01:00.3", "00:1f.3", "05:00.0" ]
then it works but I dont see the settings like
xen_platform_pci=1
This setting is not supported in the libvirt libxl driver, but AFAICT libxl sets
the default to 'true' for HVM guests.
pci_msitranslate=1
This is also not supported in libvirt and unfortunately defaults to 'false'.
pci_permissive = 1
Patches have been submitted for this setting but so far there has not been
agreement on the schema change
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-April/msg01230.html
max_grant_frames = "128
This, along with max_event_channels, is supported as an attribute on the xenbus
controller, e.g.
<controller type='xenbus' maxGrantFrames='128'
maxEventChannels='2047'/>
and the pci passthrough devices are not there...
Is setting maxGrantFrames (and possibly maxEventChannels) on the xenbus
controller enough to see the devices in the guest?
