Done.

Is the long delay at the "gray screen" to be expected? could any of the 
gplpv drivers output a message to warn about it? (I use /SOS and 
/NOGUIBOOT to watch what's going on)
I have now upgraded to 0.9.11-pre4, my filesystems are not corrupted :-)

As expected the QEMU devices *are* hidden when the PV devices are 
active, but not vice-versa.
The instructions don't mention the need to boot into non /GPLPV mode for 
the upgrade, I certainly had to.
I found the XenShutdownMon service would not stop (in response to the 
installer, or by me manually stopping it) so I had to set it to manual, 
then reboot, then do the upgrade, then set it back to auto before the 
reboot.
Disk performance seems improved, especially with larger transfer block 
sizes, I'm seeing up to 50MB/s on either reads or writes, but if I do 
mixed reads *and* writes the performance is really killed, ie. 5MB/s
Thanks for your efforts on these drivers.
