+Xen PVH machine (``xenpvh``)
+=========================================
+
+Xen supports a spectrum of types of guests that vary in how they depend
+on HW virtualization features, emulation models and paravirtualization.
+PVH is a mode that uses HW virtualization features (like HVM) but tries
+to avoid emulation models and instead use passthrough or
+paravirtualized devices.
+
+QEMU can be used to provide PV virtio devices on an emulated PCIe controller.
+That is the purpose of this minimal machine.
+
+Supported devices
+-----------------
+
+The x86 Xen PVH QEMU machine provide the following devices:
+
+- RAM
+- GPEX host bridge
+- virtio-pci devices
+
+The idea is to only connect virtio-pci devices but in theory any compatible
+PCI device model will work depending on Xen and guest support.
+
+Running
+-------
+
+The Xen tools will typically construct a command-line and launch QEMU
+for you when needed. But here's an example of what it can look like in
+case you need to construct one manually:
