tools: libxl: allow permissive qemu-upstream pci passthrough Since XSA-131 qemu-xen now restricts access to PCI cfg by default. In order to allow local configuration of the existing libxl_device_pci "permissive" flag needs to be plumbed through via the new QMP property added by the XSA-131 patches. Versions of QEMU prior to XSA-131 did not support this permissive property, so we only pass it if it is true. Older versions only supported permissive mode. qemu-xen-traditional already supports the permissive mode setting via xenstore.
