If we want to have the feature of start vmx guest from a vbd disk
and mount it as root file system. Then we'd better keep the current function
of loading kernel directly.

We'll get this back when ioemu is moved out of domain0, and all domains (paravirt and vmx) use the common vbd blkback infrastructure. It's okay to lose it for now imo: I'd much rather see a patch to rip all this stuff out of xc_vmx_build.
