[vfio-users] Linux guest passthrough

[Daniel Browne]

Hi guys,
I've got a new Fedora 25 host setup and I am attempting to get an Ubuntu
16.40 guest running with VGA passthrough. On the guest, I've installed the
official nvidia driver via the Ubuntu drivers tool. The nvidia driver
loads, but xorg.log shows the error "failed to initialize glx extension
(compatible nvidia x driver not found)"

Based on an e-mail to this list from the last time I attempted this, it is
my understanding that you need a Q35 machine and a valid pci-e bus setup to
make this all work.

I *believe* I have a valid pci-e setup with Q35, but I'm honestly not
entirely sure. Most of what I've found regarding the subject is a bit light
on details. I would appreciate it if someone could look over my domain XML
below and help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.
