Hi,

I would like to report that I have solved the infinite rebooting problem 
with Windows 8 HVM domU. I have re-installed Windows 8 HVM domU from 
scratch. I can now say that Xen VGA Passthrough with Sapphire AMD Radeon 
HD 6450 display card is successful with Windows 8 HVM domU.
Please refer to attached PDF installation guide for more details.

Thank you very much.
