True, pv_ops make things easier. That and the availablity of vfb for
PV guest, as it means you can have the same image for both native/hvm
and PV.

However from http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps, it
still lacks balloon expansion, which means you can't grow domU memory
beyond it's initial size. It also lacks device hotplug. So if you need
those features (like I do) you still need -xen kernel for domU.
