In the past we didn't reserve 0:0:2.0 PCI address if there was no video device assigned to a domain, which made it impossible to add a video device later on. So we fixed it (commit v0.9.0-37-g7b2cac1) by always reserving that address. However, that breaks existing domains without video devices that already have another device assigned to the problematic address. This patch reserves address 0:0:2.0 only in case it was not explicitly assigned to another device, which means libvirt will try to keep this address free and will not automatically assign it new devices. But existing domains for which older libvirt already assigned the address to a non-video device will keep working as they used to work before 0.9.1. Moreover, users who want to create a domain without a video device and use its address for another device may do so by explicitly configuring the PCI address in domain XML.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
