Did you have PCI hardware pass through in mind with regards to this?
For my personal usage, I would probably be interested in that.  However,
I would also want/need to be able to switch the pass through between
guest and host like in task switching.

I know that posts were made to the list a couple of weeks back with
regards to may be merging in Xen PCI pass through into QEMU.  But I
don't what the progress is with it at the moment.

Thanks,
Gervase.
