[Bug 1334738] [NEW] libvirt + libxl (Xen) PV console broken

[GeorgeDunlap]

Public bug reported:

Using virt-installer with libvirt/libxl in 14.04 I saw this:

# virt-install --connect=xen:/// --name u14.04 --ram 1024 --disk
U1L1.img,size=2 --location
http://ftp.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/

It turns out this was fixed in libvirt 1.2.4; c/s

)

Would it be possible to backport that change into 14.04, so
virt-install can be used to install PV guests?
