Fixing the interface between qemu and xen repos would be nice. Perhaps we
could do that for all but device passthru (which I think was all that broke
in this case). Passthru is still the main thing that is churning at a
furious rate (and sensibly so imo since I think some bits of logic are still
in the wrong places, and some interfaces are probably still not great).
