Userspace driver uses min(16, X setting default 4) while kernel will use a parameter (by defaults 4). I have patches for both userspace driver and kms/drm.<br> It's quite hard to pass this limit from libvirt (you have also to consider changing configuration after installation) for all guests. Actually there is no way for Qemu to enforce this limit (so yes, is an hint).<br> This change is a bit different from previous ones as instead of requiring a pci revision boost to add a field just use a flag. I tested and is back compatible.</div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">ok, that looks reasonable to me, looking forward for the rest of the patches<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Marc-André Lureau</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></body></html>
