If I'm not mistaken this path is from m4/virt-driver-libxl.m4 build time
detection.

 35     LIBXL_FIRMWARE_DIR=$($PKG_CONFIG --variable xenfirmwaredir xenlight)    
     
 36     LIBXL_EXECBIN_DIR=$($PKG_CONFIG --variable libexec_bin xenlight)        
     
 37   fi

root@g:~# pkg-config --variable libexec_bin xenlight
/usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin


We can't change the path, as all things "really" provided by xen are (and have 
to be) in that place. But actually this is a benefit of the split qemu build, 
we could consider making qemu-system-x86-xen to just push things into those 
paths.

That way defaults would work AND it would no more have to conflict with the non 
-xen variant.
I'll spin a PPA for this, but we'd want to check for side effects and revert 
the change on bad reports.
