Also the changes required to actually load the BIOS (as mentioned by Akio Takebe) are missing. My main question is, why are those fundamental features being developed in XCI (with its completely different build environment) and not in parallel to core Xen? @Keir, now that 3.4 is released couldn't you start a 3.5 branch where experimental stuff can be merged? A lot of people have been asking for VGA passthrough but those hurdles make it really hard for interested folks to give it a try and deliver feedback...
