I believe I should have the driver, the test guest I am using is just
an Ubuntu 11.10 desktop live cd.  Which command line would I put
"xen_emul_unplug=never"? the guest's kernel boot line?  Also I was
somewhat surprised to see xen messages in the guest's kernel dmesg
given that it is running HVM, unless it has somehow detected it is
running on top of Xen.  If there is an alternative vif line I should
use I'm happy to change it.

Thanks-
David
