So what happened to the 'hvm' USE flag of the "xen-tools" package?
http://gentoobrowse.randomdan.homeip.net/package/app-emulation/xen-tools
says there is such a flag. However:

* Found these USE flags for app-emulation/xen-tools-4.5.1-r1:

- - custom-cflags : Build with user-specified CFLAGS
(unsupported)
- - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like
asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces

etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
- - flask : Enable the Flask XSM module from NSA

needed by hvm

Python language

So there is no such flag. Apparently my installation is missing
'hvmloader', and I'm guessing that I would have that if I could enable
the 'hmv' USE flag.
How do I enable a USE flag that doesn't seem to exist?
The hvm flag has an antagonist dependency on net-libs/libiscsi so if you got
that installed you can't set the hvm flag. I wasn't aware that equery hides the
flags in that case though. If that's not the problem post the output of:
net-libs/libiscsi is not installed.
USE="-hvm" emerge -va app-emulation/xen-tools
moonflo ~ # USE="-hvm" emerge -va app-emulation/xen-tools

Any idea why 'hvm' is disabled? I need it enabled.
