OK, from what I have read so far, I have to port the code for PCI/PCI-e vga
graphics pass through from XCI to patch Xen 3.5-unstable so that booting the
real vga bios of the real vga card is possible instead of the emulated vga
bios. Is that correct?

Xen 3.5-unstable code supports PCI pass through but doesn't have the code
for booting the real vga bios?

If so, what code from the XCI sources do I have to single out to patch Xen
3.5-unstable?

Thank you.
