[vfio-users] VFIO + ZFS build

[Jouner Journer]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to build a box which can run ZFS on Linux in hypervisor, misc
linux VMs, as well as a Windows vm for gaming.

Is anyone doing video passthrough as well as running ZFSoL?  I've read ZFS
requires specific kernel versions in Arch and am wondering if I'll run into
compatibility issues.

Also, this is the hardware I've selected... are there any blatant problems
that stick out?  I've been toying with the idea of different processor
(less cores, more speed), but figured more cores is better...  how about
Radeon R9 390X... is it too new to be tested/confirmed?

Given that it is xeon processor and motherboard supports VT-d/VT-x,
motherboard and video card are uefi I'm hoping I will not run into too many
issues with passthrough... at least hardware limited issues ;)
