Hi Jason,
My understanding is that the assert() is telling you that you're plugging a
TYPE_SYS_BUS_DEVICE into a bus that isn't derived from TYPE_SYSTEM_BUS. A quick
look
at the file in question suggests that you could try changing the parent class of
TYPE_XENSYSBUS from TYPE_BUS to TYPE_SYSTEM_BUS to see if that helps?
ATB,
Mark.
