Does that mean just run the kernel-xen in the HVM? Or does it
mean do a paravirt install of F7? (The paravirt install is
kinda difficult with the FC6 host still being xen 3.0.3 and
64 bit 3.0.3 not knowing how to talk down to a 32 bit VM :-).

Though running the FC6 kernel seems to work OK for now. Eventually
I imagine a new kernel will show up on F7 that actually works,
so perhaps I'll just wait for that.
