If it can be detected via a usermode API then it should be possible. A quick 
google and search of the registry doesn't show anything obvious though...

I'm looking at how to put xenpci and xenvbd into the CriticalDeviceDatabase so 
that as long as the drivers are installed, Windows can make the system boot 
even if it's never seen the device before. That might help prevent leaving you 
with an unbootable system but I'm not sure if it has any other implications...
