Support for passthrough a PCI device is done, unless I miss something.
LibXL in Xen 4.2 support it, but qemu-xen in 4.2 does not. Right now,
only the last release of QEMU (1.2) support pci passthrough with Xen.

Also, to use QEMU upstream as default device model, we need implement
few more feature. I have:

- enable dirtybit tracking during migration
  status: patches submitted to QEMU and to LibXL.
- xl cd-{insert,eject}
  status: intilal implementation submitted

Thanks,
