A good starting point would be to cut-n-paste that wiki page into the
markdown docs and then replace the wiki page with a link to the
generated docs at http://xenbits.xen.org/docs . This would be preferable
to starting completely from scratch.

Aside; That wiki page's use of "Grub.conf options for Xen" vs "Xen
Command Line" is pretty confusing, I think it is trying to say "Xen
Command Line" and "Dom0 Linux Kernel Command Line" respectively but I
wasn't sure so I didn't want to touch it.
