I have applied the whole patch in the hope that the new qemu will grow
that code eventually.  For now it can be a placeholder and at least it
makes things fail properly rather than simply ignoring the passthrough
attempt.

Sorry for missing the patch the first time round.  Part of the reason
was that Mailman (our mailing list software) is mangling headers very
badly, causing the messages to be rejected by the MTA on my colo so
the mail-to-news gateway through which I read xen-devel didn't see it.

Mailman will be too hard to fix quickly so I'll see about letting my
colo's MTA be a bit more relaxed.

Ian.
