This seems confusing to me, pci-assign already has options like
prefer_msi, share_intx, and configfd that vfio doesn't. I'm sure vfio
will eventually get options that pci-assign won't have. How is a user
supposed to figure out what options are actually available from -device
pci-assign,? Isn't this the same as asking to drop all model specific
devices and just use -device net,model=e1000... hey, we've been there
before ;) Thanks,
Alex
