PCI passthrough to HVM (fully virtualized/SVM/VT) guests doesn't work
yet. And even if you could pass the device, it wouldn't be able to do
DMA (direct memory access) based on physical address, because the guest
never sees the machine-physical address, only the guest-physical address
(which starts at address zero and goes up, whereas the machine-physical
address is most likely NOT at address zero for any HVM guest - Dom0
maybe yes, but any DomU would be very unlikely to "live" at address
zero).
