Until recently, the qemu driver has always succeeded in loading even on a system booted to Xen. Commit be0782e1 broke this, hence libvirtd no longer loads

Problem is the Xen kernel does not provide any huge page info in /proc/meminfo
xendom0 # cat /proc/meminfo | grep -i huge xendom0 #
BTW, I think this would be the case for any kernel with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE turned off.
Michal, short of always building with '--without-qemu' on a Xen system, is it possible to make detection of huge pages less fatal wrt loading the qemu driver?
E.g. assume zero/default for entries not present? Regards, Jim
