[vfio-users] Improving the state of the Arch Wiki article on passthrough

[Will Marler]

Yea ... that one mod was a serious dick. I thought about several replies,
but at the end of the day, never sent them.

Ultimately I just don't see a superior alternative to the Arch wiki, as far
as aggregating and keeping current the knowledge accumulated on the
subject. This mailing list *may* take the place of the Arch forum thread
(is it public and searchable? I haven't tried ... but it's probably not at
the top of any search results), but again ... a wiki is a really great way
of not having to read every post from the start to get to the current state
of the world (as long as it's edited of course ...).

Your blog is certainly an option (The screenshots are awesome, and it was
primarily your blog that I followed to realize my own success with VGA
passthrough), but I know I personally had troubles posting a comment, and
it puts all of the onus on you to maintain.
