Though I couldn't repro the general problems I was having - I later did
a clean F14 install with no problems.  So I don't really know what's
going on here; I might try another F16 hvm install to see how it goes.

But there is a bona-fide bug that F16 doesn't include xen-platform-pci
by default in its initramfs, so it ends up unplugging its emulated
devices without discovering the PV ones to replace them...

I'd noticed that - though at present I haven't managed to get F16 Xen to
boot in an hvm domain (it hangs when setting up interrupts in the nested
dom0).
