OK, in this moment though, I don't want to put myself in the hvm to pv
conversion hell! :P If I can have success with a "plain" PV setup it is better

conversion as a last hope, when the PV setups attempts failed them all.

Ok, actually it is the same kernel-xen I've tried to setup with zypper as well,
on my previous hvm install. Of course it's not the same thing as the PV.
