Hello, 

 In the sparse tree , under drivers/xen, there are frontend and backend drivers
for network (netback and netfront), for block devices (blkfront and
blkback), and for
usb devices (usbfront and usbback). 
What about other devices ? let's say a PCI sound card (or any other PCI device).
 Where is the software that should handle it ? I remember I saw somewhere some
discussion about PCI configuration space, but I don't remember where.

TIA,
Sting
