So that anyone reading this in the future, I managed to solve this
problem.  I realized that since qemu needs the tun/tap driver, I might
need it for hvm-based guests too.  It's odd that xen doesn't complain
one bit that the driver is unavailable, though.

In any case, a simple 'modprobe tun' solved this issue for me!
