+1. /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 is where the qemu-upstream version is
+(which we don't ship), we should switch this to traditional:
+/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm
+
+but... xencommons isn't supposed to be run anymore (unless you're using
+xend).
+
+normally, we only need 'xenconsoled' and 'xenstored' for the xl service.
+
+2. if you don't have hardware virt support, i would think it's normal that
+it fails to start?
+
+3. you don't need qemu to run xen, if you run paravirtualisation only,
+there is no need for qemu. so definately not a requirement.
