We *can* allow individual GPUs to be passed through, either if somebody designs a system without cross links, or if the user is ok with the security risk as the guest driver will not enable them if it doesn't "find" both sides of them.If GPUs are not isolated and we cannot prevent them from probing each other via these links, then I think we have an obligation to configure grouping in a way that doesn't rely on a benevolent userspace. Thanks,
Well, it's a user decision, no ? Like how we used to let the user decide whether to pass-through things that have LSIs shared out of their domain. Cheers, Ben.
