Hi Simon,

Sorry for late response.

I noticed the bug when I tried the following operations.

 1) xm new vm1
 2) xm list --long vm1
    (domain
    <<snip>>
        (image
            (hvm
    <<snip>>
                (pci ((0x0 0x01 0x00 0x0 0x6 )))
 3) xm pci-attach vm1 00:1a.0 7
 4) xm list --long vm1
    (domain
    <<snip>>
        (image
            (hvm
    <<snip>>
                (pci ((0x0 0x01 0x00 0x0 0x6 )))

The value of /domain/image/hvm/pci is a value of info['platform']['pci'].
The value wasn't updated when I attached the PCI device to the domain by 
using xm pci-attach.

The value is updated by my patch.  Nonetheless, the value isn't still 
updated when xm pci-attach/detach are executed.  The value is updated 
when starting domains.

Best regards,
 Kan
