This check seems like it should be in arch-specific code.  If it
were in arch_domain_create(), it would also correctly handle the
case where the tools asked for PVH+HAP but HAP wasn't available.

Looking at the HVM case, this (and Jan's comments on the vmcs patch from v13) should probably be handled the same way: i.e., at start of day, see if we have the necessary hardware support to run in pvh mode; and set "pvh_enabled" (analog to hvm_enabled) accordingly. Then we can check this in hvm_domain_initialise() just as we do for hvm guests.
