[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2] libxl: Handle xen_platform_pci=0 case with qemu-xen.



This should result in QEMU *not* adding the xen-platform device.

Since QEMU 1.6, this can be achieved by using a different qemu machine.
The one used by libxl is "xenfv", but using QEMU >=1.6 with "-machine
pc,accel=xen" works as well with only one difference compared to
"xenfv", there is no xen-platform device.
