[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: always enable pae for x86_64 HVM

For HVM domains, pae is only set in libxl_domain_build_info when
explicitly specified in the hypervisor <features> config. This is
fine for i686 machines, but is incorrect behavior for x86_64 machines
where pae must always be enabled. See the following discussion for
additional details
