So using your example, the config file should look like:

extra = "root=/dev/xvda1 console=hvc0"
kernel = "/root/64/vmlinuz-4.11.0-pvh+"
ramdisk = "/root/64/initrd.img-4.11.0-pvh+"
builder="hvm"
device_model_version="none"
memory = 4096
name = "sospv2"
vcpus = 8
vif = ['']
disk = ['phy:/dev/vg0/pvclient2,xvda,w']

Well, huzzah!

This is a temporary interface, and it's not stable.

"Stable" as in syntax and keywords are subject to change?

 Long term PVH guest should
be created using "pvh=1", sadly this has not yet been implemented.

Do I understand this to mean that using "pvh=1" in the config file hasn't been wired up to do everything needed to create a PVH guest? Is there more to be done besides turning that parameter into "builder='hvm" device_model_version="none"? Or, better yet,
are there any design notes on this?

Hope this helps, Roger.

It seems it did. Thank you very much!
