I'd strongly support an option to disable HVM support. I've had a heck of 
a time getting the HVM parts (I think) of xen-tools to compile... It turns 
out that you can't use the dom0 kernel source as the target of your 
/usr/include/asm /usr/include/linux etc links (otherwise you get pages of 
complaints about changed #defines). Once you get that, and the fact that 
now you need to developement files for X11 installed, you can build it. I 
like to build the dom0 kernel in the dom0, but I also want to keep that 
install small... definately a conflict there... 

Anyhow, I just wanted to support the idea of being able to build a 
"paravirt only" install.
