[Xalior]

It looks like, just maybe, the end could be in sight for those having PCI Passthru problems with platforms like UnRAID and the Zen core CPUs...

Soon be time for an xGamers1CPU on Threadripper, @LinusTech? ;-)

Isn't the janky IOMMU grouping still an issue though?

Finally looks like the AMD Ryzen GPU pass-through performance issue has been solved.  We applied this patch and it does indeed appear to solve the problem.

It will take a while to reach to the stable/public release branch though.

I really hope @LinusTech explores the setup he talked about way back when Ryzen 7 was launched, a streaming PC and a gaming PC on one CPU.

Isn't that a board/vendor issue, rather than a CPU issue however? (ICBW!)
