builder="hvm" is for HVM, builder="linux" is for PV. In an HVM guest the emulated BIOS uses the well documented MBR boot concept to run bootloader and kernel, while a PV guest loads gets its kernel either from dom0 (kernel= or boot=pygrub) or from a pvgrub (kernel=pvgrub). This means the disk used in a PV guest has to be prepared for MBR boot. xen_platform_pci= by itself does not mean much. Its purpose is mostly to disable the emulated PCI device which is used by the PV drivers in a HVM guest.
