Hi Stefano,

I've started creating the cirros tests. So far have three pv tests: 
separate-kernel, pygrub and pvgrub2. On Ubuntu 14.04 with xen installed 
by raisin the pygrub test fail due to pygrub failure to find a python 
lib, which I'm going to investigate later on. The other two tests pass. 
I'll prepare patches soon.

Cheers,

Geza
