xen updated to xen-4.1.0

[M A Young]

I have just built of xen-4.1.0-rc8 on Rawhide and Fedora 15. I don't 
believe this update from xen-4.0.1 will affect the virt tools, but please 
let me know if there are problems.

On related news libxl (libxenlight) driver for Xen 4.1+ was merged
to libvirt last week.

Any idea what version of libvirt will end up in Fedora 15 ? 
Will it include the libxl driver?

(For those who don't know libxl: It's a new lightweight toolstack 
in Xen 4.1+ replacing the older python based xm/xend toolstack. 
Libxl is written in C, and it has 'xl' cmdtool instead of 'xm', 
and the syntax of 'xl' is mostly compatible with 'xm').

We're not planning another upgrade of libvirt in Fedora 15, so it
won't have the libxl stuff till F16
