That might have never been needed before, so probably not. There's
libxl__domain_type() but if that works with dom0 it might return "HVM"
for PVH dom0. So if xc_domain_getinfo_single() works and give the right
info about dom0, libxl__domain_type() could be extended to deal with
dom0 I guess. I don't know if there's a good way to find out which
flavor of dom0 is running.
