make a link to autostart /etc/xen/vm -> /etc/xen/auto

I'm not familiar with Xen, but the OP could use virsh to set up the auto start link. Since virsh is a toolkit/wrapper that can be used with KVM, Xen, and other virtualization platforms [0] it is a tool for the job.

virsh <domain_name> autostart

[ I'd expect this command would create the necessary autostart link, but don't have a Xen node built to verify. ]

And plenty more virsh commands at [1]

Correct, I can use virsh in rc.local but it is a really poor solution ... And no, virsh doesn't creates any autostart link ...
