I just checked on my SuperMicro X8DTN, this combination
 - For Dom0, git commit fe999249 (2.6.32.18)
 - For DomU, devel/xen-pcifront-0.6 or devel/xen-pcifront-0.7
 - For Hypervisor I used cs 21976, but found that the latest (22155) works too

with which where I passed in PCI devices with legacy IRQ, MSI, and MSI-X. I tried
a combination of doing this with IOMMU (VT-d) and without - both cases these devices:

00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02)
00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02)
00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02)
00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) USB2 EHCI Controller #1 (rev 02)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06)
0a:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

worked just fine (either defining pci=["..."] or just using pci-attach).
 
But if I use the latest xen/next or xen/stable-2.6.32.x it does not look
that happy :-(
