In VT supported machine, when create HVM (VMX) domain, it will start qemu. If 
only create xenU, it is same to non VT machine. (XenU config is 
/etc/xen/xmeample1 etc.)

It is also need parameters for Qemu to create HVM domain. Xm tool help to parse 
the parameters of HVM configuration file and start Qemu with them. E.g. sdl, 
vnc, disk, nic, etc. You can change device_model config to:
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm.debug'

Then you can find the Qemu parameters in /tmp/args, after run xm create 
hvm_config
