I could nail down my problem to the xen-store entry for the event
channel not being created.  Once I issue: -

xenstore-write /local/domain/17/device/pci/0/event-channel 6

The PCI device shows up in my domU. Also, after this the network takes
quite a while to become active (sometimes its really soon). So,

1. How do I fix the above problem that I dont have to issue a manual store?
2. Is there a poll that goes on here to check for backend changes -
can I force it in code so that my network becomes accessible real
soon?

Regards,
Asim
