Yes. I will modify the option to "pci-passthrough== <boolean>"

As pci-passthrough support emulate the PCI devices for DOM0 also, I thought if
someone want to
boot the DOM0 without emulating the PCI device in XEN and wants to have direct
access to device.
I am ok to drop this patch if you feel adding the option is not required at all.
