Did you edit menu.lst you need to block PCI device from dom0 and blacklist module for card

I have the LSI device (05:00.0 in my case) "hidden" from the dom0 system, this is my configuration for GRUB:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset xen-pciback.passthrough=1 xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(03:00.0)(03:00.1)(85:04.0)(05:00.0) 'pci=resource_alignment=03:00.0;03:00.1;85:04.0;05:00.0'"

I confirm that pciback has the device:

# xl pci-list-assignable-devices

0000:03:00.0

0000:03:00.1

0000:05:00.0

0000:85:04.0

But when I check lspci in dom0:

# lspci |grep 05:00.0

05:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS2008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 [Falcon] (rev 03)

I have tried to blacklist the mptsas module form the kernel, and I can not remove it, it just keeps on getting loaded...

I have added a blacklist file for mptsas in /etc/modprob.d/ and updated initramfs, but it does not help.

I even recompiled the kernel WITHOUT mptsas driver support..... it still loads mptsas at boot...

Do I need to disable the LSI controller in the BIOS to get it properly blackisted?
