We added a function into the xenhost plugin to get information about PCI devices. Roughly we run the lspci command on dom0. This information will be used to get the list of pci devices that are passed on the pciback.hide dom0 command line. The hide option is used to hide the devices from the normal guest drivers and assign them to the pciback kernel driver at boot on dom0 instead of their normal driver. We will parse the output of the lspci command to find which device is using the pciback kernel driver and thus to know if it has been passed to the pciback.hide option. This information will be used to perform the match with the list of pci devices provided in pci_whitelist into /etc/nova/nova.conf.

This directory contains files that are required for the XenAPI support. They should be installed in the XenServer / Xen Cloud Platform dom0. If you install them manually, you will need to ensure that the newly added files are executable. You can do this by running the following command (from dom0): chmod a+x /etc/xapi.d/plugins/*
