qemu-xen-unstable deviates very little from QEMU upstream nowadays,
however if you test QEMU upstream you risk finding transient QEMU bugs.
I am not sure that you want that, it would be like using the very latest
Linus' tree as dom0 kernel.
If you want to catch Xen bugs and harden Xen releases it is probably
better to use qemu-xen-unstable.
