That sounds reasonable.  Can we please make sure that the usage
message for -xen-create and -xen-attach makes it clear that a user
should not supply these options on a Xen system using the Xen
management toolstack ?  (Which I think includes a system using xm and
also a system using libvirt, although perhaps Daniel Berrange will
correct me.)
