I'd be a bit less specific there. Just "support for hosting Xen HVM
guests" perhaps? It already includes basic event channel support, I'm
posted an RFC for the runstate stuff, and more event channel
acceleration is next...

We could always just drop that. It's just paranoia.

I wonder if at least for the ioctls, it might be nicer to put the
#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_XEN around the callers for these? If we did it that
way we'd probably spot the fact that we need to stop advertising the
feature too... :)
