Thanks for reply.

Today I did the first tests with q35 on xen.
I found that disks/cdrom not works with q35 and old qemu paramters used 
by libxl.
With new qemu parameters works and works also with sata instead ide.
Probably next week I'll do libxl patches for initial draft of q35 
support, new qemu parameters for disk/cdrom using upstream qemu and sata 
support.
I tried to boot Saucy hvm DomU with q35 and sata but qemu crash on 
kernel loading, tried with both with and without xen-platform.
On attachment the serial kernel logs of both cases.
Can you take a look?

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
