Well, one option is to just send this style SXPR regardless and not
even bother to try and detect if my patch is enabled in xend - pushing
the failure from libvirt space, to xend space. 

We'll be able to detect the new style paravirt framebuffer code in xen
because they'll hopefully update  xend_config_version  counter when
merging it.

Dan.
