commit7681f31ec9upstream. There is no need for this at all. Worst it means that if the guest tries to write to BARs it could lead (on certain platforms) to PCI SERR errors. Please note that withaf6fc858a3"xen-pciback: limit guest control of command register" a guest is still allowed to enable those control bits (safely), but is not allowed to disable them and that therefore a well behaved frontend which enables things before using them will still function correctly. This is done via an write to the configuration register 0x4 which triggers on the backend side: command_write \- pci_enable_device \- pci_enable_device_flags \- do_pci_enable_device \- pcibios_enable_device \-pci_enable_resourcess [which enables the PCI_COMMAND_MEMORY|PCI_COMMAND_IO] However guests (and drivers) which don't do this could cause problems, including the security issues which XSA-120 sought to address.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
