As recommended by them, Xen is type-1 hypervisor and HXen is a type-2 hypervisor. Virtualization in a product is a value-add service and not the core product functionality. No one would want to touch a stable system (which is a must in case of type-1 hypervisor) for a value-add service. Hence, HXen gives flexibility to add features on VM w/o impacting product's core functionality. The biggest benefit with HXen is that it can be ported to any other OS without any changes to the stable system.

With that goal, I wonder why you choose hxen (which is not
developed/maintained anymore, and has minimal or zero documentation)
instead of virtualbox (which is available under GPL except for the
extension pack, already supporting many host OS) or KVM (since you're
going to use Linux anyway), both are still actively developed.

Good luck though.
