Hi Simon, 
> I think that a simple solution to this is to just remove the first invocation.
This was checked in as c/s 19754.
Unluckily, this breaks device assignment for pv guest: xend would not invoke 
setupOneDevice() for pv guest at all.

The attached patch fixes the issue.  Please have a look.

Thanks,

Hi Dexuan,

I think that a simple solution to this is to just remove the
first invocation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

xend: pass-through: Only call setupOneDevice() once per device

As observed by Dexuan Cui, when PCI devices are passed through at
domain-creation-time setupOneDevice() will be called twice.

Once via setupDevice() and once via econfigureDevice() which
is called in pci_device_configure().

This patch removes the first of these.
