Current gfx passthrough code in Xen just supports basic gfx passthrough, that
means it does basic necessary work for gfx passthrough, and it only supports
discrete gfx cards. We will rebase and sent out the Intel IGD passthrough
patches which supports to passthrough Intel IGD to guest.
I indeed also sent out some hacking patches for gfx passthrough which are
needed for some specific gfx cards, but they are experimental and not checked
into xen.

Weidong
