Yes.  I think we will keep the xenpv machine type for sure.  For full
virtualization it might be more useful to just use the "pc" machine type
(and maybe make xenfv an alias for compatibility).

>From qemu's point of view xen and kvm are not very different: no cpu
emulation needed, some chips such as apic are handled by someone else
too, some additional devices might be there (xen platform device, virtio
devices).  So it would make sense to handle them the same way,
especially once we have the qemuaccel stuff in place which will add an
abstraction layer for this.

cheers,
  Gerd
