XEN: Giving guest complete control over NIC(s).

[Gilboa Davara <gilboad gmail com>]

Hello all,

I'm installing Xen on a machine with multiple Gbps NICs that I'm using
for driver development.
Is there a way to give the guest complete control over a number of these
NICs without having the host to route/bridge the traffic to the guest?
If it's impossible, what's the expected performance hit in handling raw
Ethernet traffic within the guest OS?
