Yes, indeed we just fail to create this VM in the case of runtime, or to 
hotplug this associated device in the case of hotplug.
I would rephrase this somewhere, the here just introduce a reference 
like this as Campbell said to me,
+B<rdm policy> specifies how to handle conflicts between reserved device 
memory
+space and guest address space. This is same as "reserve" option to the rdm
+option, please see L<xl.cfg(5)>.

After make this referring to other place, please see this on another email.
