FYI, F9 Xen will (almost certainly) contain support for booting Xen
fullvirt guests with a direct kernel + initrd.  I've got the patches
in rawhide - Xen config syntax is the same as for paravirt guests. Need
to get them accepted by upstream Xen, but once that's done I'll enable
support in libvirt. So we'll have parity in terms of local boot 
functionality between Xen PV, Xen HVM and KVM.  Just PXE for Xen paravirt
to figure out now...
