I agree that C3 would be a problem - both guest and host.
However, for C4 I have a "installer hack" that allows C4 to install
under Xen (FC6 host) using virt-manager & kickstart. When it's
finished, the only package that is modified is the kernel (to provide a
domU image).
Perhaps your VM is the issue with tls. Once I started using a recent
enough host (FC6) and a recent enough guest (C4), all my tls problems
disappeared. Even SELinux, which was always problematic for me under
UML, seems to be working smoothly now.
If someone wants a Xen C4 guest image, let me know, it only takes a few
minutes to create.
