Without going to deep into the details as xen history:

HVM with PV is not PVHVM.

PVHVM is nore Xen „PV with HVM“

Means, the core / primary „arch“ is different (one is PV - the other is HVM). 
From what i understand, frontend as backend drivers could be the same but must 
„support“ both modes.

pls correct me, if / where i‘m wrong here...
