While I'm not strictly against, I'd like to point out that it was
deliberate to not create this directory here. I also didn't expect
anyone's xen.spec to do so. Instead I'd expect the distro to create
it during OS installation. If this was a bad assumption, I'd prefer
if the commit message here could point out why such an expectation
won't hold in general.
