 It's a general device assignment issue.
 Any PCI device can't be assigned to a HVM guest with the latest
qemu-traditional.

 Ok. Is there already a separate thread on xen-devel about the
 qemu-traditional PCI assignment issue?
 If not, we should create one.

FWIW, I'm using qemu-dm (i.e. traditional) in 4.3 and am successfully passing USB, audio, GPU PCI devices using it (as long as I stay under
 the 2GB domU RAM limit). So whatever the issue is it isn't generic.

 That bug report doesn't include the domU config file, and IIRC
 I saw a similar error when device_model/device_model_override and
 device_model_version don't match or are unavailable in the build
 (e.g. building without upstream and specifying traditional or
 vice versa). More info needed to verify, I think.

And just to add a little more variety, I'm also using traditional
(under 4.3) to pass through USB and GPU (Radeon 6770) to a Windows 7
DomU configured with 6Gb for memory. Only using a patch to work around
a broken BIOS implementation so I have IOMMU support.

And you don't suffer from a memory stomp resulting
in frame buffer corruption shortly followed by a domU
crash with that much RAM passed to domU?
