Posting my notes here, in case anybody else is trying it and wants to compare. I
haven't yet had luck getting a pvh domU to launch. I think I'm doing what the
documentation calls for, but clearly something is missing.
Current bits are up here:
https://www.bfccomputing.com/downloads/fedora/xen/f20/
I've got Xen 4.4 booting and a kernel built with PVH support, but when starting a
domU with 'pvh=1' I get:
xc_dom_parse_image: unsupported feature requested
Could you also include 'xl dmesg' please?

the entry, and it sure looks like the symbols are in the kernel:
