| 85 | Given the changes in D54739, should we perhaps add an explicit disclaimer about PCI passthrough not being supported for unprivileged users? | |

| 85 | Yes, that's a good point. I should make passthru_init() print a message when it fails due to lack of permissions. I also realized after the fact that pci_lpc_get_sel() will fail with unprivileged bhyve, but the info it's fetching is available to unprivileged users via PCIOCGETCONF. We should rewrite that code to use PCIOCGETCONF instead. | |
