@Ian or Stefano:
About use upstream qemu from debian package on xen debian package:
Do I need to only remove the build (similar to seabios packaged patch)
or may I also need to patch libxl/xm?
Probably you'd need to patch libxl (but not xm) too.

On my todo list I have an action to make the configure script understand
--with-system-qemu=PATH, which would disable the qemu-xen build and
cause libxl to use $PATH (default /usr/bin/qemu?) instead
of /usr/lib/xen/bin/blah. If someone else were to get there first that
would be awesome!

./configure --(enable|disable)-qemu-traditional (i.e. just turn the
build off and on) would be quite useful too I think. As would making
libxl handle the absence of either a little more gracefully.

Ian.

Thanks for the info, your idea for upstream xen instead is better than mine on debian patches.
Unfortunately for the moment I not have sufficent time to do this task.
The default qemu probably is good /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64, tested and full working on debian (not know about different distros), /usr/bin/qemu link to i386 which has some bugs (for example one or more important/critical with spice, that seem present also in other distros). Following your indication it would be useful to add also the options to use system seabios for example --with-system-seabios=PATH, which is faster to do.
