I'd like to change the xen x86 caps to such format:
xen_caps               : xen-3.0-x86_64 hvm-x86_32 hvm-x86_32p
hvm-x86_64
i.e. remove the xen version info from hvm caps string, because it makes
no sense for HVM guests.
How about your opinion?

We'll be exposing some paravirtual interfaces to HVM guests (for p.v.drivers). So I'd be inclined to keep the Xen version info. I'm not thatfussed either way though.
