Thanks Jerry - I saw the page but missed the comment on "passthru", so 
as usual RTFM saves the day.

Looks like F15 won't work for me - no worries as its just a test build 
for replacement of the actual server at some undetermined future date.

I'm installing F16 rawhide on a spare machine and will follow its 
progress with interest.  Given 3.1 is in RC phase, it may yet make it 
into F16.  I was already running libvirt-0.9.0.f16 on my F15 box 
(rebuilt from SRPM), and if pciback makes it into 3.1 in time, F16 will 
finally be the killer (supported) dom0 solution I've been waiting for 
since FC6.

Cheers,

Hilton.
