The way I was hiding the qemu devices (IDE and Realtek network) was
causing some problems so I had to revert to just causing them to fail.

There is a patch you can apply to Xen 3.3.1 (might apply against 3.3.0
too) that will hide the drivers at the xen level, otherwise you'll just
have to ignore them.
