Thank you for the fast response.  

Apologies to the list for not quoting in my original reply.

I seem to need some help with the syntax of the device ID at the end of the 
command.
lspci shows me IDs of 00:1a.0 and 00:1d.0 for the controllers, but the qvm-pci 
command doesn't accept that ID prefaced with dom0: (i.e.: dom0:00:1a.0)...  I 
get the error "qvm-pci: error: backend vm 'dom0' doesn't expose device 
'00:1a.0'".

I am sure I am misunderstanding something.

Thanks again for the help!
