I added docs/txt/FAQ to the CVS tree, and an entry for this question:
Will we be guest OS be able to use devices that the host OS
does not have drivers for, such as a winmodem?
We are going to try to add a 'pass-through' capability. There are
some issues surrounding DMA, PnP, etc that need to be worked out,
depending on the device in question. But this is a very useful
feature which many people have asked for, so it will likely get
a lot of coding attention.
