For those not following in the bug, the libxl driver executes

problem here is that the status check causes xend to start! I can't
reproduce the issue, so perhaps it is specific to the fedora packages.
It is specific to the Fedora package. I traced it to the
xen-initscript.patch file in the Fedora source. From xen-3.1.0-2.fc8
onwards Fedora xend ignores the option passed to it and just does a start.
It was from before I started doing things on the package, but idea seems
to have been to strip out functions like stop, reload etc. and do them
directly in the init script.
I don't think it is worth changing this much, but I think I will put back
the status option to keep libvirt happy.
