Hmm, you are right. I have found that WinXP and Win7 could not handle the VGA remove sci interrupt. Please try to execute "xm pci-detach Domain 00:00:02.0". So I directly invoke acpi_php_writeb to handle VGA remove event.

pci-detach needs cooperation from the guest, how the guest is supposed
to handle the acpi interrupt if it is paused?
