No, when try to start HVM on Xen unstable with pv_ops kernel I get this error:

Ah.  This is rather odd.  Normally I would hope that xend would report
an exit status.  (I haven't tried pvops with qemu.)

Hm, I'm getting:
[2009-02-23 15:26:18 4380] WARNING (image:482) domain win7: device model failure: pid 5409: died due to signal 7; see /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-win7.log

Hm, signal 7 - SIGBUS.  I wonder if

Using stub domains doesn't work either.

I would suggest running qemu-dm under strace.  This can be done easily
enough with a simple wrapper script, something like:
  #!/bin/sh
  set -e
  exec strace -vvs500 -f -o /root/qemu-dm.strace \
    /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm "$@"
and then give the name of the script as device_model in your config file.
I see:

This mmap and ioctl is from /proc/xen/privcmd.
