Ok, next respin will have version with that turned on for review.

Hmm, that calls more for a patch reordering in the xen patch series to
make it more bisect-friendly (i.e. first put in the new backend drivers,
then update xen_machine_pv.c). Right now each step single step builds,
but there are a few inbetween which are not fully functional due to old
backends being turned off and new ones not patched in yet ...
