That part, at least, was surprisingly easy. The same OVMF images (with
SeaBIOS-as-CSM) that I've been testing under Qemu work fine under Xen
too. The OVMF build system is hosed for GCC 4.7 and your own Makefile
also has 'GCC44' in the path when copying out the build result. when it
could have been 'GCC4?' and at least been a little more robust. But
that's just fluff. Basically, it works.

I did need to fix the VGA ROM you're shipping for Cirrus, which has the
PCIR structure unaligned. That was it.

Again, this is without actually trying to boot any OS :)
