Stale qemu-dm binary hanging around, perhaps. I find that kind of thing
happens when trying out different version sof Xen on a single test system.
Either your new qemu-dm binary did not get installed, or it did but in a
different location to the stale one, and it happens that the stale one
dominates.

In particular, Xen 3.4 qemu does not support the -vcpu_avail cmdline option,
but 4.0 and 4.1 (unstable) do. And 4.0/4.1 xend depends on that.
