This is "xen emulation" and (according to long term plan plan) doesn't
require kvm but should work with qemu emulating things too.  This means
it doesn't depend on kvm, you can do that with xen underneath too.  This
is what the -xen-emulate switch is good for.

I like the "create" and "attach" namings as they make pretty clear what
qemu should do.
