Some of the re-factoring work for XenAPI support in current xen-devel has
broken the creation of guests using a bootloader if done via the SEXPR
API. The first issue is that 'bootloader' is classed as legacy unsupported
in the XenConfig.py class, and the special fallback processing for it is
missing. The second issue apears to be that one of the methods called from
_configureBootloader() has changed the format of the data it returns.
The reason this was not caught earlier is that 'xm' typically runs the
bootloader client side, but libvirt lets the bootloader run server side
and thus hits this bug.

I'm attaching a patch which fixes the use of bootloaders for when creating
a domain via SEXPR protocol
