Hi all,

Currently, we are working to add VirtIO GPU and Passthrough GPU support on
Xen. We expected to use HVM on domU and PVH on dom0. The x86 PVH dom0
support needs a few modifications on our APU platform. These functions
requires multiple software components support including kernel, xen, qemu,
mesa, and virglrenderer. Please see the patch series on Xen and QEMU bleow.

Xen: https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2023-03/msg00714.html
QEMU: https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-03/msg03972.html

Kernel part mainly adds the PVH dom0 support:

1) Enable Xen PVH dom0 for AMDGPU

Please check patch 1 to 3, that enable Xen PVH dom0 on amdgpu. Because we
would like to use hardware IOMMU instead of swiotlb for buffer copy, PV
dom0 only supported swiotlb.

There still some workarounds in the kernel need to dig it out like below
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rui/linux.git/commit/?h=upstream-fox-xen&id=9bee65dd3498dfc6aad283d22ff641198b5c91ed

2) Add PCIe Passthrough (GPU) on Xen PVH dom0

Please check patch 4 to 5, this implements acpi_register_gsi_xen_pvh API to
register GSI for guest domU, amd make a new privcmd to handle the GSI from
the IRQ.

Below are the screenshot of these functions, please take a look.

We are writting the documentation on xen wiki page, and will update it in
feature version.

Thanks,
