I've done another test.
I reinstalled the pv drivers selecting the "Full installation", but
the domU is so
slow now. Actually I see the mouse pointer has a great delay.

Anyway, this time I've seen this popup message:
XEN PV DISK SCSI Device installed.

This is what I can see in the logs:

Waiting for domain windows-7 (domid 4) to die [pid 8849]

Then I noticed that the system was so slow at the end.

I rebooted and I see the system is not so reactive ad before even
less slow than before.

Now the command xl shutdown <domain_id> doesn't give me any error.
But the domain seems to be unresponsive and doesn't shutdown.

I don't know if those drivers are buggy or not, but now the domU
is not working as before; definitely.
It is responsive only after the domU has started than slows down.
