See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps
IMHO the biggest user-visible difference is supported features, like
balloon expansion. When using xenfied kernel its possible to do assign
something like 512MB to domU on startup but allow it to dynamically
grow online to (say) 4GB later when neede.
