With Xen-4.1.0 from gitco the inner Dom0 kernel doesn't come up fully.
So I changed tracks and tried running KVM within the guest and
installing an inner guest with KVM as the hypervisor. That seemingly
worked! I passed -enable-kvm to qemu-kvm. Is there anyway of
confirming this from the outer host Xen?
