Does the board support VT-d?

I have has some luck passing onboard USB controllers, but others have
reported problems.
They say that they can get a PCI-e usb controller and pass that through.
Try the command xm pci-list-assignable-devices
Also what version of Xen?
There are certain conditions that lead you to be able to use specific
PCI devices etc.
here is the link that explains it on xen-devel
http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/e61978c24d84
Also see this thread regarding a work around patch to pass through
devices on the same PCI bridge:
