No, it doesn't. I'm working on a qemu patch series enabling the qemu
based backends to support grants with virtio. The code is working fine
on x86, too (apart from the fact that the backends aren't ready yet).

The code right now in mainline only ever sets the ops for DMA. So
I can't see how you could make it work.

Ah, you are right. I was using a guest with an older version of the series.
Sorry for the noise.

No problem. But whatever you end up using to enable the grant DMA
ops n x86 should also require the platform access feature. We already
have that information so we can make use of it.

Yes, of course.
