[Openstack] Nova is considering Xen Domain-0 as instance

I don't quite follow your question, nova-compute should run in the VM host
(dom0), not in the guest VM (domU), right? Otherwise how could nova-compute
have access to all dom0 privileges to start and manipulate vms?

This is my nova.conf:

--dhcpbridge_flagfile=/etc/nova/nova.conf
--dhcpbridge=/usr/bin/nova-dhcpbridge
--logdir=/var/log/nova
--state_path=/var/lib/nova
--lock_path=/var/lock/nova
--verbose
--s3_host=10.0.254.9
--rabbit_host=10.0.254.9
--cc_host=10.0.254.9
--ec2_url=http://10.0.254.9:8773/services/Cloud
--sql_connection=mysql://novadbadmin:root@10.0.254.9/nova
--network_manager=nova.network.manager.FlatDHCPManager
--network_host=10.0.254.9
--flat_network_bridge=xenbr0
--libvirt_type=xen
--xenapi_remap_vbd_dev=true
--glance_api_servers=10.0.254.9:9292
--image_service=nova.image.glance.GlanceImageService
--nouse_cow_images
