Description

Fedora kernel with the "Restore PCI bridge configuration space on bridge reset" applied. This allows my threadripper host system to be able to vfio pass through an RX 480 running in the guest.

The patch was originally taken from patchwork #10181903 . See related discussions at threadripper_kvm_gpu_passthru_testers_needed.

This workaround was tested and worked on the Gigabyte X399 AORUS Gaming 7 r1 with BIOS version F3j. Upgrading to the F10 (~7/15/2018) version of that particular machine's BIOS makes this build no longer needed.
