Guide to PCIe Passthrough
=========================
This is a draft.
## Enable BIOS features
To use PCIe Passthrough, you will need a compatible motherboard and CPU with support for iommu. Look up your motherboard manual on how to enable these features, but they are commonly named `VT-d` or `AMD Vi`.
@ -22,6 +21,9 @@ An example output might look like this:
The first value (`26:00.0`) is the BDF ID, and the last (`1002:6810`) is the Device ID. Cards with a built-in audio controller have to be passed together, so note the IDs for both subdevices.
## Load the vfio-pci module
The `vfio-pci` module is not included in the kernel on all systems, you may need for load it as part of initramfs. Look up your distro's documentation on how to do this.
## Add Kernel Flags
The `iommu` kernel module is not enabled by default, but you can enable it on boot by passing the following flags to the kernel. Replace the Device IDs with your corresponding card.

To do this permanently, you can add it to your bootloader. If you're using GRUB, for example, edit `/etc/default/grub` and add the previous lines to the `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT` section, then run `sudo update-grub` and reboot.

## Attach card to QEMU
You will need to attach the cards using the BDF IDs for the audio and video controller. The following example shows the config for a card with two devices. The romfile parameter is optional.
