Xen has not re-written the original code. QEMU provides both a CPU
emulator and a plethora of devices. Xen merely uses the device emulation
and not the CPU emulation. There's a few patches to integrate with Xen
but it is not a re-write.

No, renaming functional components for mere cosmetic reasons, will cause real
world breakage for existing deployments. This is not a net win.
