It's a general device assignment issue.
Any PCI device can't be assigned to a HVM guest with the latest qemu-traditional.

Ok. Is there already a separate thread on xen-devel about the
qemu-traditional PCI assignment issue?
If not, we should create one.

FWIW, I'm using qemu-dm (i.e. traditional) in 4.3 and am successfully
passing USB, audio, GPU PCI devices using it (as long as I stay under
the 2GB domU RAM limit). So whatever the issue is it isn't generic.

That bug report doesn't include the domU config file, and IIRC
I saw a similar error when device_model/device_model_override and
device_model_version don't match or are unavailable in the build
(e.g. building without upstream and specifying traditional or
vice versa). More info needed to verify, I think.

And just to add a little more variety, I'm also using traditional (under 4.3) to pass through USB and GPU (Radeon 6770) to a Windows 7 DomU configured with 6Gb for memory. Only using a patch to work around a broken BIOS implementation so I have IOMMU support.
