Sure. My IGD is also Intel HD Graphics 4600. :-)

1. hypervisor version: c/s 26666 in xen-unstable.hg tree  (5 months ago)
  traditional qemu commit: 5ae58eaa967495fce99b727422054c58750d252b
  Dom0 kernel: Linux 3.8.1
N.B. I didn't use the latest traditional qemu because of the following bug:
http://bugzilla-archived.xenproject.org//bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1865

2. no offline patch. (just use the code in the tree I mentioned above.)

3. hypervisor options: dom0_mem=1024M iommu=1 loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all 
unrestricted_guest=1 msi=1
  dom0 kernel options: ro root=/dev/sda1

4. HVM guest: Windows 7 Enterprise

5. IGD driver version in HVM: 9.18.10.3165
  got to: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
  then, search "4th Generation Intel Core Processors with intel hd graphics 
4600" to download the driver.

6. use 'xl pci-assignable-add $BDF' to add the IGD as assignable.
  (it also use 'xen.pciback' driver.)

7. dom0 kernel config is attached as file 'config-3.8.1'.

8. HVM guest config file:
builder= "hvm"
name= "vga-passthrough"
memory =1024
vcpus=4
device_model_override= '/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
device_model_version= 'qemu-xen-traditional'
disk = [ '/images/ia32e_win7.qcow,qcow2,xvda,rw' ]
vnc=1
serial='pty'
usb = 1
usbdevice = 'tablet'
gfx_passthru=1
pci = ['00:02.0','00:1d.0','07:00.0']  #'00:02.0' is IGD; the other two are 
mouse and keyboard.

9. I can successfully assign this IGD 4600 (in Core i5-4670 CPU) to the Windows 
guest. And the IGD can work fine.
  See some attached pictures for more info.


Best Regards,
     Yongjie (Jay)
