+.Sh NAME
+.Nm xpci
+.Nd Xen frontend paravirtualized PCI pass-through driver
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "xpci* at xenbus?"
+.Cd "pci* at xpci?"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver is the frontend part of the PCI pass-through functionality
+that can be used by
+.Tn Xen
+guest domains to communicate with PCI devices.
+.Pp
+From a guest point of view,
+.Nm
+is similar to a
+.Xr pci 4
+bus, except that the guest talks with the PCI backend driver
+instead of the real physical device directly.
+.Pp
+When the host domain is
+.Nx ,
+the
+.Nm
+driver is backed by a
+.Xr pciback 4
+driver within the dom0.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr pci 4 ,
+.Xr pciback 4 ,
+.Xr xenbus 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver first appeared in
+.Nx 5.1 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Manuel Bouyer Aq Mt bouyer@NetBSD.org .
+.Sh SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+As PCI passthrough offers the possibility for guest domains
+to send arbitrary PCI commands to a physical device, this has
+direct impact on the overall stability and security of the system.
+For example, in case of erroneous or malicious commands, the device
+could overwrite physical memory portions, via DMA.
