Yes, I was just agreeing with you ;-)

Actually, quite possibly, the *can* be migrated, it just won't work and will 
crash things instead ;-p

Should just be a modification in Python code to check if pci devs are 
assigned.  I might be able to get round to it soon.  We've had one report of 
somebody's system breaking because the xendomains init script suspended and 
resumed a driver domain on reboot :-(

Cheers,
Mark
