Wei and Ian,

Could we merge these following commits into xen-4.6.1?

commit 83215fba3a80c30b5191a4a1086dc510cca43069

     libxl: introduce libxl__is_igd_vga_passthru

commit 488508b49a65dda20cf6eb6d8f549e8d758e610f

     libxl: introduce gfx_passthru_kind

Currently they're already in staging branch.

I know we're going to sync qemu-upstream into qemu-xen in xen 4.7 to 
support IGD passthrough with qemu-xen. But actually only these two 
commits can make sure xen-4.6.x work out IGD passthrough with 
qemu-upstream, instead of qemu-xen. I mean we can set something like this,

device_model_version="qemu-xen"
device_model_override="/<path to qemu-upstream>/qemu-system-i386"

Thanks
Tiejun
