That's not the cause of the test failure though --- it's "just" a warning.

The problem here was that 64- and 32-bit build trees got out of sync
(which is my fault, I switched the former to staging but forgot to do
the same for the latter). We have in  the log:

libxl: error: libxl_create.c:564:libxl__domain_make: domain creation
fail: Operation not supported
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:931:initiate_domain_create: cannot make
domain: -3

I now have both trees use staging.
