An HVM domain is similar to a normal qemu emulated machine, so I meant a
kernel that is able to boot on that machine (x86 support, e1000 driver, etc.).

In addition to that if you want to enable PV on HVM you need support for
the PV frontends: enable CONFIG_XEN, CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND,
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND, CONFIG_XEN_XENBUS_FRONTEND,
CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI; avoid the BACKENDs.
