Libvirt (for most purposes) is just a frontend. You can dump libvirt
altogether if you like (which is what I did) and manage domUs using xm
commands. That way (if you want to) it can be just like your previous
setup.
Which is why I told you earlier

"If by "convert" you mean "run these old dom0 on new version of dom0",
then you don't have to do anything. Old domU config should run just
fine."

First method is to shutdown domU and edit its config file. They're
still located under /etc/xen.
Second method is to use "xm block-attach" (or virsh attach-disk). You
may still have to edit the config file afterwards.

Put the config file on /etc/xen, run "xm create" or "xm new"
