Thanks.  With that I was able to reproduce the problem and I think I
have now fixed it in this changeset:

    commit a7104be2d6a521dfdcf1ce9f82ae40525e223775
    Author: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
    Date:   Tue Jul 22 15:49:52 2008 +0100

        Fix HVM direct kernel booting.

This is available now (untested other than ad-hoc by me) at
   http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ijackson/qemu-xen.git
and will make it to the usual locations on xenbits in due course.

This was indeed a problem but not the only one.

Ian.
