PCI should be fairly trivial at the moment since it just requires a hypercall.
USB is very similar to Vifs and Vbds from the control protocol PoV.
As far as making the interface intuitive... I think it's reasonably sane to
specify this stuff the way the current tools do, although arguably it would
be useful to have some sort of abstraction so that users don't have to think
about PCI config space / USB port IDs.
