the Centos Virt-Sig has planned to build xen-4.12.1 for CentOS 8.

I took a look and noticed that this build must support python2 &
python3, not python, and we can not expect any qemu-system-x86 built
with Xen libs. The only qemu builds seen are kvm only.

I've got a package set done:

the qemuu & qemut are upstream and traditional, packaged separately.

I've yet to do a bare-metal install and test these. If anyone wants to
help with testing, see me
##xen-packaging on Freenode IRC or send mail.
