Testing multiple is a bit tricky... Best thing to do, I think, is:

- Configure an HVM guest to use latest upstream QEMU (post my patch 
3996e85c1822e05c50250f8d2d1e57b6bea1229d), which will give you one non-default 
ioreq server.
- Grab my demu repo from xenbits (git://xenbits.xen.org/people/pauldu/demu.git) 
and build it (master branch should be ok).
- Bring up the guest paused
- Start demu from a dom0 root shell, e.g.:

demu --domain=<domid> --device=31 --function=0

- Unpause the domain

After it comes up you should be able to see device 31 on the PCI bus, and it 
should appear to be a SCSI controller.
