Ah. Yes, don't install drivers when you are booting with GPLPV! Is this
what you did? The class filter (xenhide.sys) will fail to disable the
qemu devices but won't disable the xen devices either.

I'll try and spell that out a bit more clearly on the wiki. I can't
think of a way around it at this point...
