This comes from the fact that we are running xen from an underlying
host platform.
for example, if you boot linux without xen but on SLOF your machine
name is "Maple".
see:
arch/powerpc/platforms/xen/setup.c define_machine 246
define_machine(xen)
I'd be interested in changing this to "Xen" for DomUs, but Dom0
should reflect the underlying machine type that linux would use
without Xen.

The "platform" line "Xen-Maple" is currently used by some tools in
distros to identify the platform of the machine. The question I
pose is
should this be changed from "Xen-Maple" since running on Xen does not
mean you are running on Maple.
Something like "Xen" would probably be better. What do you guys
think ?
