The xen kernel option like 'physdev_dom0_hide=(00:0c.0)' is working for me. In 
the config file for the domain 'pci = [ '0x00,0x0c,0x00' ]' and 'pci = 
[ '0,12,0' ]' are not working but 'pci = [ '00,0c,00' ]' works fine.  
Shouldn't the first two work?

From the user manual:

--- schnip ---

Flat Format: Include a list of PCI device addresses of the format: 
 
pci = ['x,y,z', ...]
 
 where each element in the list is a string specifying the components of the 
PCI device address, separated by commas. The components (x, y and z) of the 
list may be formatted as either decimal or hexadecimal.

--- schnap ---
