When I added VT-d support for PV guests I made xend do the device
assignment iff the destination was a PV domain.  Is there any reason
why device assignment can not be performed by xend for HVM guests as
well?

Other resource assignment (IOMEM and IRQs) still seems to happen in
xend for HVM guests as well as for PV guest.  What other domctls does
ioemu need to perform?
