## Features
* General warning and info about what you will be needing
* Enable and configure vfio modules
* Show general warning to user and inform about making a backup and general expectations
* Detect if user has an amd or intel CPU and provide the correct IOMMU kernel args based on that
* Configure 2nd GPU for GPU Passthrough (1 for host, 1 for VM)
* Generate script to use for dumping the vbios rom (as some cards require a romfile for passthrough to work), however no rom patching support planned.
* Enable and configure the correct kernel modules and load them early (initramfs-tools, dracut and mkinitcpio)
* Configure kernel arguments for systemd-boot (using kernelstub)
* Configure kernel arguments for grub2
* Use [ls-iommu](https://github.com/HikariKnight/ls-iommu) to find PCI devices like graphic cards, usb controllers, etc and see what IOMMU group they are in
* Enable and configure vfio modules (initramfs-tools, dracut, modprobe and mkinitcpio)
* Generate the correct kernel arguments for grub and systemd-boot~~
* Generate script to use for dumping the vbios rom (as some cards require a romfile for passthrough to work), however no rom patching support planned.
* Configure kernel arguments for systemd-boot (using kernelstub or grubby)
* Configure kernel arguments for grub2 (editing /etc/default/grub or using grubby)
* A system you can navigate through, built using [Bubble Tea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea) (Help appreciated to make this menu better!)
* ~~Coloured highlight/text for important information?~~ (not implemented yet)
* Make sure [vendor-reset](https://github.com/gnif/vendor-reset) module is loaded before vfio, check the repository for the list of cards that require it!
* Provides you with the correct kernel arguments to add to your bootloader entry if a supported bootloader is not found
## Features now handled by [ls-iommu](https://github.com/HikariKnight/ls-iommu)
* Automatically handle GPUs where parts of it might be in separate IOMMU groups (ex: RX6600XT)
* Fetch the ID and PCI Address of devices
* Locate the vbios rom path on the system
* Tell the user to enable IOMMU (VT-d/AMD-v) on their motherboard and bootloader
* Get a list of devices, their IOMMU groups and various other information

Also if you know English, you can help by just proof reading. English is not my native language, plus I have dyslexia so I often make spelling mistakes.
Proof reading is still contribution!
