Ouch, and definitely needs patching.

Off-hand, I'm not sure if this is quite right - it is completely valid 
to have two persistent domains both using the same hostdev, _as long as_ 
you guarantee that at most one of those two domains is active at a time. 
  Is qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices called at define time (when the 
persistent xml is stored) or at start time (when actually starting the 
guest)?

[/me goes and looks...]

Yay! qemuPrepareHostdevPCIDevices is only called during hot-plug (domain 
already active) and by qemuPrepareHostDevices(), which in turn is only 
used in qemuProcessStart.  So it does indeed look like this patch merely 
prohibits starting domain2 if domain1 is running in your above example, 
but does not prohibit both definitions from existing.

This doesn't seem right, when there are multiple devices.

Pre-patch, suppose we had:
dev1 - is assignable, is managed, and detach succeeds (nevermind the 
spelling error in pciDettachDevice)
dev2 - is not assignable
goto reattachdevs
dev1 - is managed, so it is reattached

Now we have:
dev1 - is assignable, is not active, and detach succeeds
dev2 - is not assignable
goto cleanup

Oops - we left dev1 detached.

I think you _have_ to break this into two separate loops (and adjust the 
line earlier about 4 loops to now call out 5 loops!).

Loop 1 - prove that all desired devices are assignable and not already 
active

Loop 2 - for all managed devices, detach them

This is correct for loop 1, validating that the requested device is not 
already in use by another active domain.

Formatting: s/* dev/*dev/

This iterates over all active pci devices, but it _should_ be iterating 
only over the pci devices in use by the given domain.  Otherwise, you have:

dom1 - takes dev1, dev1 in use by "dom1"
dom2 - takes dev2, now dev1 and dev2 both in use by "dom2"

Ouch.  pciDeviceSetUsedBy is malloc'ing memory, but you aren't checking 
for failure.  More on this below...

I would have simplified these two conditions to one line:

STRNEQ(name, pciDeviceGetUsedBy(activeDev))

As promised above, why not make this 'const char *used_by', since a 
domain can only own a device for as long as it is active, and as long as 
the domain is active, then the domain's name will be in scope.  Then, 
you don't have to strdup() the name, and don't have to worry about 
malloc failure.  But you _do_ have to worry about setting the name back 
to NULL after a domain goes inactive or the device is hotplugged, to 
update the fact that no active domain owns the device.

If you use my suggestion of pointing to the pre-existing domain name, 
rather than strdup(), then you don't want this line.

and here, you could make the function return void (straight pointer 
assignment, rather than strdup()).

Needs a v2, but we should definitely get this patched.
