I agree -- if someone had heard about osstest, but had forgotten the
name, they might well search for "xen test framework" and end up
rather frustrated.

Since the purpose of these tests is to verify very specific bits of
functionality (not unlike processor verification actually), maybe
something with some form of "verify" in the name?  Xen verification
framework / xvf?
