With XEN you can do forwarding of complete pci-devices.
They become hidden from the main-system (dom-0) and exclusively
available for the client (dom-U)

Personally I've done it for crypto devices,
I've seen on several lists that others have done it for network-, VGA-,
isdn-, videocapture-boards.
So i presume dahdi-boards will pose no exception...
