I don't use a mainline distro, the OS is a custom linux built by a  
friend of mine. It is completely source based so everything has to be  
built by using the source. It does have a package management facility  
but I have to create the packages and add them to the repository. So  
in my case, I do need to install the Dev86src package to be able to  
have the hvm loader.
So everything I do is done with the *.tar.gz files and built by hand.  
This is why I ask some lame questions that the distros have already  
taken care of behind the scenes. I have no sweet gui or virt-install  
or some point and click my way to xen nirvana bliss. It is all "Use  
The Source Luke!". =)
