I've not used the XCI stuff at all, but looking at the userrspace
git repo for it, they've removed XenD entirely and have a new
management daemon. I rather expect this new daemon will be implementing
the XenAPI which is not  something we support yet.

We welcome anyone who's interested in writing a new libvirt Xen driver
that uses the XenAPI. Drivers are much easier to write these days as
you can see from teh crazy number of new drivers we've added in the
last couple of releases :-)
