I am getting ready to attempt this as well so please let us know if you
figure it out whether anyone here has the answer or not.

I did note with some concern that the current
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels states the pv_ops kernel
lacks usbback, but http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels
recently indicated vga passthrough was only available in the pv_ops kernel.
The latter page was modified today or yesterday to no longer have that
chart, though, and the version on
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenKernelFeatures doesn't say anything
about vga passthrough.

So I don't really know the real state, but that at least looked like you
could have either hvm vga passthrough OR hvm usb passthrough.
