Nevermind, I went with the fifthhorseman described syntax, the other one
isn't useful in python (since only the last would take effect) so it
won't be what xm is parsing.

Does this work for you? I only tested by observing the sets of
ports/irqs which are allowed for the domain.

I don't think this can break anything other than the new options
themselves so I think this patch could be a candidate for 4.2.0.

libxl/xl: implement support for guest iooprt and irq permissions.

This is useful for passing legacy ISA devices (e.g. com ports,
parallel ports) to guests.

Supported syntax is as described in
http://cmrg.fifthhorseman.net/wiki/xen#grantingaccesstoserialhardwaretoadomU

I tested this using Xen's 'q' key handler which prints out the I/O
port and IRQ ranges allowed for each domain. e.g.:

(XEN) Rangesets belonging to domain 31:
(XEN)     I/O Ports  { 2e8-2ef, 2f8-2ff }
(XEN)     Interrupts { 3, 5-6 }
