Hello!
Will pci passthrough be available ( or is already ?) for windows8 hosts to lets say Xp or win7 guests?
What about 64bit host to 32 bit guest pci passthrough ?
Is there anybody with experiences?Or is there a guide on how to do it?
In the manual there'S just a short notice concerning pci passthrough on linux systems.
Thank you.

Re: pci passthrough
The feature is only currently available on Linux hosts, and even there nobody has ever come forward to say they got it working. The devs don't discuss future plans, hence there is no date (and frankly: little likelihood IMHO) of a Windows implementation.
IMHO, people just better accept the idea that VMs don't use real hardware. Find another way to do what you need in a VM, or use dual booting instead of a VM.
