Got a new video cart, so gave it another go. 
Still no luck and (mostly?) the same issues. 
New video card: http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-rx-400-series/
rx-460-4gb-heatsink-rx-460p4hfg5-

One particular thing I noticed is that I get (something that looks like) a 
kernel crash when booting the kernel with Xen, which I don't get when choosing 
the GRUB option without Xen.
See `cknowsvr01-dmesg-with-xen.txt` vs `cknowsvr01-dmesg-without-xen.txt`.

In order to get vga-passthrough working, I've made some further configuration 
changes which I'll attach as well.

Changes in `/etc/modprobe.d/vga-passthrough.conf`, `/etc/modules`, the loaded 
kernel modules regarding amd (vga card) and xen and the kernel configuration 
wrt xen are in `cknowsvr01-kernel-config.txt`

Changes I've made wrt grub and the complete grub.cfg are in `cknowsvr01-
grub.txt`. 
The item in which I didn't get a kernel crash (see above) was "Debian GNU/
Linux" and the one I do get a kernel crash is "Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 
hypervisor"

The configuration file of the VM in which I try to get vga passthrough working 
is `cknowsvr01-tradestation.home.cknow.org.cfg.txt`
When I enable the 3 items in "PCI devices" of that config file, the VM crashes 
and gets in the crash loop I mentioned in my first post to this list.
The logfile of that is attached as `cknowsvr01-xl-
tradestation.home.cknow.org.log.txt`

And finally I have added the kernel 'config' of the VM itself in `tradestation-
kernel-config.txt`

I hope I have provided complete info with this. If not, let me know what you'd 
like to see and I'll do my best to provide it.

Cheers,
  Diederik
