Thread-topic: [Xen-devel][PATCH] VT-d: Fix PCI-X device assignment
For PCI-X device, the requester-id "may" come from PCI-X device or its bridge. 
software must consider the possibility of requests arriving with the source-id 
in the original PCI-X transaction or the source-id provided by the bridge. You 
can refer to the 3.6.1.1 Devices Behind PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X Bridges in 
VT-d specification.
BTW, I met DMA page faults when I assigned PCI-X device without my patch.
Regards,
Weidong
