Thanks for the hint - I did this, but I'm wondering if there's a limitation on 
the number of serial ports?  The Qemu man page, from the most recent version of 
Qemu, indicates that a maximum of 4 serial devices can be used.  However, 
Windows in my Xen domU only sees two of the four devices that I've attempted to 
pass through, so I'm wondering if the qemu-dm version included with Xen 4 only 
supports 2??
