That is asking for trouble.  Slot 2 is used by the qemu vga cards by
default, and for quite a while (before memory api was merged) it even
was impossible to change it.  libvirt still places the vga card at slot
2 for that reason -> boom.  I wouldn't be surprised if you find that
assumption in other management libs / apps too.

Why do you need that patch in the first place?  It should be possible to
configure qemu to not occupy slot 2 if you need it that way.  Just pass
'-vga none' to qemu.  Which you probably want anyway if you pass-through
a vga to the guest.  And explicitly configure a slot (via addr=
property) for all your pci devices.  Doing it only for the IGD works too
if you list the device before any other pci device on the qemu command
line.

cheers,

I already added vga none support on libxl, useful also for this cases:
http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commit;h=2e5738ff47b9d2e1948024100f87b1a25fcf004a

This patch is already tested and working, for now I not tested and I can't test with intel gpu passthrough, someone can test it with intel gpu passthrough?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
