Yes, this is not a limitation of this patch, but of the implementation
that follows. Likely this will be expanded when support for DomU is
added, but for Dom0 at least on x86 adding such a translation layer is
not needed, since I see no reason to present a different PCI topology
to Dom0.

Thanks, Roger.
