The work on PCI device assignment looks like it might allow guests to
access a firewire device. Can anyone confirm or deny whether that will
be the case?
Personally, I have no idea - when we have all the bits in place you
could just give it a try.
Specifically, I currently run Linux as my desktop and Windows in a
VMware guest for software like Adobe Premiere. This arrangement lets
me do video editing, but not video capture from firewire since VMware
doesn't support it. If KVM allows me to run a Windows guest that will
be able to do capture video from the firewire port, I'll be switching
away from VMware.
You could re-send all this to kvm(a)vger.kernel.org - you might get a
definite answer, or even someone interested in working on it and needing
testers.
Cheers,
Mark.
