To assign device to HVM guest, you should need an IOMMU-capable system like a 
VT-d capable machine.
What device is 01:00.0? Is it a special device like SR/IOV VF?
I guess you have to figure out why the device 01:00.0 is not discovered in 
scan_pci_devices().

Yes, I can confirm that.

That didnt help.
BTW: is that true that PCI passthru is only available with VT-d machine??
