The bit being patched here is disabled by
"xen: make it possible to build without the Xen PV domain builder" in that
series.

In any case I think Roger's stuff would be better off going in first and I
can easily rebase over it.

Given the only caller today passes NULL I'd suggest moving the NULL down
into the wrapper, i.e. dropping the argument from xen_domain_create.

If someone wants to resurrect the domain build in QEMU _and_ teach it to do
pvh, then they will surely be able to refactor this to suit their needs.
