[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC v1 10/13] lib{xc/xl}: allow the creation of HVM domains with a kernel

[Roger Pau Monne <roger.pau@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Replace the firmware loaded into HVM guests with an OS kernel. Since the HVM
builder now uses the PV xc_dom_* set of functions this kernel will be parsed
and loaded inside the guest like on PV, but the container is a pure HVM
guest.

Only xc_dom_elfloader has been switched in order to use hvm-3.0-x86_32,
other loaders need to be adapted also.
