[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2 v2] vfio: blacklist loading of unstable roms

[Bandan Das]

Certain cards such as the Broadcom BCM57810 have rom quirks
that exhibit unstable system behavior duing device assignment. In
the particular case of 57810, rom execution hangs and if a FLR
follows, the device becomes inoperable until a power cycle. This
is a simple change to blacklist loading of rom for such cards
unless the user specifies a romfile or rombar=1 on the cmd line
