That was it, thanks to everybody. sshd seems to work fine when the machine is in PV mode, so I guess I'll answer to that effect to the pr.
So far xcp-ng has been working fine for the rather limited test cases I have thrown on it, but combined with a self-built Xen Orchestra it is a decent free fully functional virtualisation platform. A loss for Citrix, methinks.
