If you are running Rawhide or F16 you should be about to get the xen-4.1.1-6 packages when you next update (if you haven't got them already). These contain partial systemd support (for the xenstored startup script) to solve some shutdown problems I was seeing. Also your grub2 configuration should now be updated when you install, upgarde or remove the xen-hypervisor package.
The conversion to systemd from traditional startup scripts isn't exact, and although I think it does the right thing there may be problems, so let me know if you see any issues.
Another problem that I am aware of is that if you use libvirt to access xen may get blocked by selinux, so you may need to run in permissive mode if you want to do this successfully.

Dan Walsh is very proactive in fixing SELinux issues. If anyone has a problem with SELinux, I recommend creating a bug against the SELinux policy in Red Hat Bugzilla. For an example of such a (fixed) bug, see:

Yeey! Thanks for making that happen!

Ok. Is the plan to post them on xen-devel once you are confident they are working correctly?

Hm, I hadn't trouble with that, but then I inadvertly created the images using 'virt-manager' (so it stuck them in /var/lib/virt-manager instead of /var/lib/xen).

Yes! Thanks. I just tested it and it works nicely.
Albeit I found that the kernel has a bug #744408 which fortunatly is easy to fix.

Is there a particular good test-case to exercise it? I just beeing playing with 'virt-install' and 'virt-manager' and was quite thrilled to see the bridge get created automatically and xend start.
