Cool. Stay tuned fo FC17 (still with Xen support, of course), which is
coming!

They are, indeed. Well, the one with 'syms' in it should be related to
the possibility of booting with a version of the hypervisor compiled
with debugging symbols, so better to avoid it, although it would still
work like all the others.

The fact that they are so much it's an actual bug, which has been worked
out (IIRC) for Fedora 17.

Nothing that is worth worrying about. I guess it's something related to
packaging or, in general, not compiling from an actual hg tree.

In virt-manager you mean, right? I'm seeing this too, but I'm not sure
what "copying host CPU" is (and if it means something at all), so I
never cared.
