This is only a problem if you are trying to pass the Dom0 secondary adapter through as a

primary adapter to the DomU.  In this case the DomU will have the wrong VBios.

 

There is no problem if you are passing the Dom0 secondary adapter through as a secondary

adapter to DomU.  In this case the emulated (Cirrus) VBios will be properly copied to 0xc0000.

 

Thanks,
