Hmm just checked, xl generates that line for my HVM's as well, though they do 
start.
And i don't get that line in my qemu-dm.log

Are you sure it runs the qemu that is installed with you last build ?
And in fact it is the latest ?

Hrmmm it seems a make clean && git pull && make in the xen dir, does update the 
commit id for the qemu tree in Config.mk
But the tree it self in /tools/qemu-xen-dir doesn't seem to be updated 
accordingly ..

Could it be your tools/qemu-xen-dir is also not on the latest commit ?
