Does boot_xen.py actually boot *Xen*? And presumably at least one Xen guest *within* Xen? kvm_xen_guest.py boots a "Xen guest" under KVM directly without any real Xen being present. It's *emulating* Xen. They do both run Xen guests (or at least guests which use Xen hypercalls and *think* they're running under Xen). But is that the important classification for lumping them together?
