 After checking with the Xen experts on list, it became clear that it would
 be a good idea to somewhat improve and extend our set of Xen test cases:

 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-November/104654.html

 Konrad Wilk summarizes:

 "It would be nice to expand the tests, and it kind of boils down to:

 1) Does it boot
 2) Does it work

 The complexity is that there are three modes of this: HVM (so similar to
 the KVM test-case), PV (we got that covered now), and the Dom0 (which is
 mostly - does it boot and you kind of implicitly need to do this before
 you can do the other two).

 So I think it makes sense to add the HVM case in the test-matrix - it is
 pretty simple and similar to the KVM one.

 The dom0 is a bit more complex, but we already have it outlined in the
 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 in the Documentation
 part - so it should be fairly easy to lift it out of there. (adn the stuff
 about the bridge is not needed anymore)."

 If someone with knowledge of the area could take this ticket and draft up
 the set of proposed test cases then mail them to the list for discussion,
 that would be great. Thanks!
