Re: [Xen-users] IOMMU group dissapear in XEN
Thanks for your answer.
The question appeared just because I tried it and it doesn't work as should. I can passthrough the card, it can be seen from the guest, I even can install the driver for it, but it fails to pass tests... I thought that it can be caused by this issue with the
IOMMU groups

There is no /sys/kernel/iommu_groups because the IOMMU is used by Xen,
and thus Linux is not allowed to use it. Xen hides the IOMMU to Dom0.
