Problem Title:

1.5i SP2 Virtex	Device Representation - PCIIOB model needs a bel to drive the PCI pin 


Problem Description:
The Virtex PCIIOB model can have the IBUF bel driving two different signals. This causes problems b ecause a bel has only one pointer to a signal. The other signal can be corrupted when changes are m
ade to the IBUF bel. This will cause core dumps in epic (CR #110651) and errors in par (CR #110716)
. Fixing this will require changes to the cellmodel (cmodel.ncm, lbe.grf) to add a bel, and will re quire an ncd conversion.
