Wasn't expecting F17 to bump to 4.2 at this stage, I'll either rebuild
the F18 packages or upgrade to F18 depending on how soon I reboot the
dom0

On F16 xl was "recommended" but caused me problems, so I stuck with
xm, then with Xen 4.2 xl was "really recommended" an I had a problem
with xm, so I switched to xl and my previous problems were indeed
fixed, apart from libvirt not talking to xl yet

I'll probably leave the dom0 up for a few weeks and try F18 with the
updated libvirt at that stage.
