Thanks to the kind person(s) who worked on this.  I am using PCI
passthrough right now and it works.  I hope support is added for VT
domains too; That would be extremely useful.

So far I have tried a NIC, USB, and PCI Video.  The NIC works flawlessly.
USB works as long as the devices are present at the time the domain
is started.  Hotplugging USB devices seems not to work.  If I open
/dev/input/mice, and move my mouse around, I can see the mouse data.

I have seen some dmesg output like this from USB:

uhci_hcd 0000:00:01.3: Unlink after no-IRQ?  Controller is probably using the 
wrong IRQ.

I couldn't do much of anything with PCI video (i.e., start X) because
X relies on virtual terminal support, which Xenlinux doesn't provide.
Does anyone know if there is a way around it?

Here is my domU lspci output:
