See the other thread ("PCI passthrough problems after legacy
update of xen 4.1") about the same problem. Andreas had put
together a debugging patch that helped narrow it, but it's still
unclear where the conflicting hypercalls originate. Perhaps
continuing the discussion centrally in that other thread (which
has made better progress) would help keep all information
together.
