Also, I suspect you might not be able to "split" the card between domains in 
this way.  We certainly can't split different functions of a single PCI card 
between domains, and I'm not sure that it's really possible to do in 
general...

You'd ideally want an intelligent NIC that could demultiplex to multiple 
domains - there are some of these coming onto the market now and they'll 
probably get more popular over time.

Cheers,
Mark
