+Description:
+                Option to specify how to export PCI topology to guest:
+                0 - (default) Hide the true PCI topology and makes the frontend
+                 there is a single PCI bus with only the exported devices on 
it.
+                 For example, a device at 03:05.0 will be re-assigned to 
00:00.0
+                 while second device at 02:1a.1 will be re-assigned to 00:01.1.
+                1 - Passthrough provides a real view of the PCI topology to the
+                 frontend (for example, a device at 06:01.b will still appear 
at
+                 06:01.b to the frontend). This is similar to how Xen 2.0.x
+                 exposed PCI devices to its driver domains. This may be 
required
+                 for drivers which depend on finding their hardware in certain
+                 bus/slot locations.

+Date:           Oct 2011
+KernelVersion:  3.1
+Contact:        xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+                An parenthesis separated list of DDDD:BB:DD.F devices to hide
+                from their native device drivers - so they cannot use them -
+                and Xen pciback to become their owner. That is
+                Domain:Bus:Device.Function, where Domain is optional.
+                Wildcards are permitted. For example:
+                xen-pciback.hide=(04:00.0)(03:01.*) will make the Xen pciback
+                driver the owner of 04:00.0 device and any functions of the
+                03:01.0 device (so 03:01.1, 03:01.2, etc).

+Contact:        xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+                Allow non-emulated (raw) access to PCI configuration space by
+                the guest frontend. This can have adverse affect as the guest
+                can destabilize the initial domain.

+Date:           Oct 2011
+KernelVersion:  3.1
+Contact:        xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+               If the permissive attribute is set, then writing a string in
+                the format of DDDD:BB:DD.F-REG:SIZE:MASK will allow the guest
+                to write and read from the PCI device. That is Domain:Bus:
+                Device.Function-Register:Size:Mask (Domain is optional).
+                For example:
+                #echo 00:19.0-E0:2:FF > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/quirks
+                will allow the guest to read and write to the configuration
+                register 0x0E.

+Contact:        xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+                A list of all of the PCI devices owned by Xen PCI back and
+                whether Xen PCI backend will acknowledge the interrupts 
received
+                and the amount of interrupts received. Xen PCI back 
acknowledges
+                said interrupts only when they are level, shared with another
+                guest, and enabled by the guest.
+
+What:           /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/irq_handler_state
+Date:           Oct 2011
+KernelVersion:  3.1
+Contact:        xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+Description:
+                An option to toggle Xen PCI back to acknowledge (or stop)
+                interrupts for the specific device regardless of whether the
+                device is shared, enabled, or on a level interrupt line.
+                Writing a string of DDDD:BB:DD.F will toggle the state.
+                This is Domain:Bus:Device.Function where domain is optional.
