But doesn't qemu act as the BIOS for HVM domains?  Why would the
hypervisor be doing the initial PCI BAR setup?

Yes, I didn't mention the most important part: the device in question
is a physical PCI device (a PCI Express graphics card) that I am
passing through to the Windows 2003 guest domain via VT-d.  (The VT-d
support generally works for me because I can pass a PCI NIC through no
problem.)  (I realize VT-d'ing a PCI-XP graphics card is
experimental...but that's what I'm doing, experimenting...).

Thanks,
Dave
