AW: Re: [Xen-users] What is necessary for AMD IOMMU support

["Carsten Schiers" <carsten@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all folks. So the plan is:

  - try Xen 4.0 (like to do that anyway) and check whether HW IOMMU 
shows up (not very probable)
  - use IOMMU=soft instead, which results in the same functionality

BR,
Carsten.
