I think Anthony uses Arch; Anthony, any idea what's going on here?

Thanks,

FWIW, something like this is also mentioned in the Release Notes[0]:

 | The old qemu-xen-traditional stubdomain device model (ioemu-stubdom)
 | is deprecated and no longer built by default.

But I don't have any device_model_version settings in my configuration. In
fact, /etc/xen/xl.conf has not adjustments at all, should be all
"standard" (according to Alpine Linux's configuration, of course).
