Cool - it's been annoying having all the io bitmap emulation stuff but
no dom0 ops to actually configure it.

It would be good to have a variable in the domain config files that
enables this to be controlled rather than requiring it to be set with
xm.

That's what the patch provides (a config parameter for xm create).

[PATCH 0/4] fleshing out the ioport support

[lists-xen]

This patchset fleshes out the support for ioport access
control, adding the following features:

* the ability to hide port ranges from dom0 at boot
* control over port permissions from libxc/Xc
* the ability to add port ranges to new domains from xend/xm

All of the above has been build-tested, but only the first
item has been run-tested, as the really old udev on the system
I'm testing this on doesn't want to work with a 2.6.12 kernel.
