I didn't have any issues passing the PCI card. The only problems i had
was to compile the dib0700 drivers for the xen kernel. Had to do this
in dom0 and copy into domu.

Here are some snippets from my config:

In dom0:

Kernel params:
module          /vmlinuz-2.6.18-6-xen-amd64
root=/dev/mapper/VGSystem-LVdom0 ro console=tty0
pciback.hide=(01:09.0)(01:09.1)(01:09.2)

In the domU xen script:
pci         = ['01:09.0','01:09.1','01:09.2']

I think thats all. Feel free to ask for some specific info if you need
it...
