True it is open source and should be possible. You're going to want to
make sure you use at least the 4.1 branch as it has better libxl
integration.
Do report any problems that you find to xen-devel. I think the
intention is that this should work, I'm just not sure how much
community testing we have gotten to this point. Do let us know if/when
you test it and how you progress.
Thanks,
