Thread-topic:	[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Xend: allow pci-stub to hide devices for assignment

pciback is used by VT-d to hide device for assigment. But in pv-ops dom0, 
pciback is not supported yet. Fortunately, pci-stub module is used to hide 
device in Linux for KVM VT-d device assignment and it's included in pv-ops 
dom0. So can use pci-stub to hide devices for assignment.

Device must be hidden before assignment. Control panel has checks if devices 
can be assigned or not, and can list assignable devices via reading devices 
owned by pciback. This patch changes the checks, and also list assignable 
devices which are owned by pci-stub. Use pci-stub to hide devices, and use this 
patch to pass checkes in control panel, device assignemnt with VT-d works on 
Xen with pv-ops dom0.
