[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xl: Add "seize" option to PCI devices

[George Dunlap <george.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "seize" option tells the toolstack to attempt to automatically
unbind devices and re-bind them to the pciback driver.  This should
make creating VMs that habitually use pass-through (such as driver domain
VMs and gaming VMs) easier to use and manage.
