On PPC we have the following problem with xm-test:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenFaq#head- baa7000e8fc28fd168650114dd2741b7f21da8fa

Where we are told:
  "all you need to do is disable the entire scsi subsystem"

This is undesirable since our (the XenPPC Team) goal is to have one Linux image to run everywhere.

We could switch over all the xm-tests to use xvd (Xen Virtual Block Device), but before we do that we'd like to know what the support for xvd is and what if any issues/opinion are there with doing this?
