Hi All,
Is direct device assignment in nested VM supported in the latest KVM
mainline now?

Thanks,

Le Tan is currently working on emulated device assignment (VT-d
emulation in QEMU). This is the necessary first step and could later be
extended to enable assignment of physical devices to nested guests with
support of the host IOMMU (out of scope for Le's project, though).
