That's a good question, I'm not really sure. I'm doing all the vm creation/migration/shutdown using libvirt 0.9.0 rc1 and just connecting with xen:/// to the local xend. I thought xl was just a userspace replacement for xm and the backend functionality was the same? I don't have a spare server to test the patch with at the moment, but I can try this out later this week. - Nathan
