Xen 4.4 includes a newer version of upstream qemu which depends on pixman, which is where this new dependency has come from. However qemu is not more mandatory than it was before. The configure stuff has changed since 4.3 to make it easier to opt out of building qemu at all. You can now pass --with-system-qemu to configure instead of mucking around with .config or patching or whatever you did in 4.3 and earlier. --with-system-qemu strictly means "assume the user has installed qemu separately, don't build our own", but it could equally mean "don't want qemu-xen at all". Another new option is --disable-qemu-traditional which disables the use of the old trad branch/fork of qemu entirely.
