[vfio-users] Hardware support explanation

[Francois Delalleau]

Hi all,

I discover recently VFIO support for gpu pass-through. I need both linux
and windows, and really love to get windows on a VM.
But as I'm not familiar with low level code, I need some explanation on
hardware :

      * Is VFIO support usage of a Intel HD Graphics for host and a
        pci-e gpu for the windows guest?
      * I found on http://vfio.blogspot.fr that 1155 processor can be
        used. I suppose that 1156 (i7-6xxx) can be used to?
      * For gpu, I understood that Nvidia 9xx series can be used, but is
        9xxM can be used to? The plan is to use a clevo laptop, so gpu
        is an M version...


And one last question, there has some restriction on distribution? I
work on Debian stable (jessy at this time), do I need to rebuilt kernel?

Thank's in advance for your responses to my (newbie) questions!
