Re: Fwd: Migrate an x86_64 box to i386 without reinstall

["jherm" <user=1536@nabble.blu.org>]

 Does user mode linux + our current Linux kernel have some kind of PCI 
pass-through feature, like (I believe) Xen does? And/or can you force Linux 
to ignore the device completely, and allow hardware control to a UML 
process? 

If so, could you use ndiswrapper (or whatever Linux driver you use) this 
way? And IP-forward from your guest, to it's host? Just found this article, 
reading it now...
