Provided someone on the xen side acks, then great! We'd have full
coverage to remove all uses soon and kill paravirt_enabled() for good.
It may take some time to run tests of this to get a full sense of
correctness but perhaps in the future it may be easier if 0-day gets
some basic Xen tests (or embraces the Xen test suite) as was discussed
as possible a while ago. lguest may need some basic tests too, but I'm
not even sure what type of tests we'd run against lguest.
