PCI Network Pass-Through: System was tested using PCI pass-through where the network adapter was given to the SLES 11 SP3 x86-64 guest. One of the Broadcom® Integrated BCM5709C Dual-Port 10/100/1000BASE-T adapters was used in this testing. Interrupt remapping support was enabled via echo 1 > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts.
UEFI boot was enabled by setting "Launch Storage OpROM" to "UEFI Driver" in the Setup Utility -> System Settings -> Device and I/O Ports.
