This is a HVM Windows 7.

I had use shutdown, pause, etc but the virsh edit DomU don't let me do
what the paper say:

# virsh edit win2k3
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='pci' managed='yes'>
  <source>
      <address domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x1a' function='0x7'/>
  </source>
</hostdev>

If I try this it send a message error every time I want to save the
file, with my domU values:

error: XML error: failed to build sexpr

Thanks.
