Currently Fedora does not ship Xen dom0 capable kernel, so using Xen
on Fedora requires manually installing dom0 kernel first.

(Fedora is planning to ship Xen dom0 kernel again when the dom0 patches
are in upstream Linux kernel).

So I guess kvm should be the default in Fedora.
Xen support should be an option of course, many people are running Xen on Fedora.
