Xen users - Jan 2006 - Virtualization of Fibre Channel?

In principle, will Xen handle virtualization of Fibre Channel HBA''s? 
Say I
have a physical server with a single FC HBA installed.  If I create two
domains, will XEN virtualize the HBA so that both of the domains can talk to
the FC fabric?
 
-M.

Basicly, dom0 will see the FC luns as SCSI disks, and then you can export
(the SCSI disks) further to domU''s.
