This was the only hypervisor driver other than qemu that implemented virNodeDeviceDettach. It doesn't currently support multiple pci device assignment driver backends, but it is simple to plug in this new API, which will make it easier for Xen people to fill it in later when they decide to support VFIO (or whatever other) device assignment. Also it means that management applications will have the same API available to them for both hypervisors on any given version of libvirt. The only acceptable value for driverName in this case is NULL, since there is no alternate, and I'm not willing to pick a name for the default driver used by Xen.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
