It really ought to be parallel to what you would do with KVM/QEMU. Basically
the same steps - but I am not sure how well does libvirt work with xm/xl nowadays.
Or the virt-manager - but it suppose to interact with magically.

Is there a KVM/QEMU/libvirt help test Wiki? I saw this:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_virtualization
and it kind of parallels it, albeit I didn't see anything about setting the network
which sometimes is the biggest pain point:

There are known bugs in FC15/FC16 that have been filled some time ago that
folks will sadly run into: 728775, 658387  and 668063

Fortunatly the bugs have patches attached and the files to be modified are shell scripts.
