One other option is to run the DomU's as PVHVM:
https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Linux_PV_on_HVM_drivers

That should be much better performance than HVM and may be a workable
solution for people who don't want to modify their VM kernel.

Here is more info on PVHVM:
https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/PV_on_HVM

================
Also heard from someone to try this Config file change to the base
kernel and rebuild:

CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE=n
...

The referenced link (https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Linux_PV_on_HVM_drivers) looks to be about adding to the older configuration style file. I do not see the proper incantation for the " xen_platform_pci=1" in the domain xml file syntax. I'm not even sure if I attempted it correctly. Is there a portion of that page that pertains explicitly to booting? I think I missed something.

Thanks
