Open Stack

Yes, I am able to start a vm with libvirt and Xen, but I've not tried a xml
based on the one openstack generates. I will see if I can try tomorrow to
run a separate VM modifying OS's libvirt xml.

I really need to use libvirt due to the live migration support, thus XCP or
XenServer + xenapi would not work for me. Also I have a very specific
environment I am trying to include openstack that I can't change right now.

Also that is a good way to test Openstack and Xen integration outside
XenServer.
