Having a device model duplicated in both Xen and qemu, and
synchronising between the two, sounds a bit sketchy.

In the BIOS (realmode) these devices are initialized and the subsequent
32-bit code depends on the proper initialization. For the common I/O
emulation case this should hopefully be rare.

How does this work now? Do we really have two copies of each device model? I doubt that's implemented safely.
