[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] libxl: use qemu-xen (upstream QEMU) as device model by default



From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v3:
- Fix "use" to "Use" in documentation part
- Do not try to use qemu-xen (upstream) for stubdoms
- Remove a hostage-to-fortune remark in a comment about OS defaults

Changes in v2:
- update the xl man page;
- write a small helper function in libxl_{linux,netbsd}.c to set the
default device_model, so that NetBSD can keep using the old version.
