Subject: libxl: use qemu-xen with PV guests by default
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https://%22%22/%22http:/www.example.com/cgi/%22https:/%22%22?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9684ac597a610155a19a7a33038cb874b4d8de23;p=xen.git

libxl: use qemu-xen with PV guests by default

qemu-xen offers better disk performances than qemu-xen-traditional
because it supports Linux native AIO: use it for PV guests if it is
available.
