The QEMU driver supports booting Xen guests via the Xenner hypervisor. For such paravirtualized guests there is no regular BIOS, so the bootloader has to be run on the host. Xenner defaults to pygrub, but since libvirt has a generic syntax for bootloaders, we should use it. So this patch adds support for the <bootloader> syntax in the QEMU drive, and passes this to Xenner via the -bootloader arg.
The patch is overly large, because when we have a bootloader we need to skip the kernel/initrd/cmdline/boot elements & thus caused alot of intrusive code re-indentation .
Hmm... that patch didn't apply to latest. But only the big indentation-changing hunk failed, and it was one new line and the rest just white-space diffs, so no problem. and even if it hadn't, "git diff -w" makes it easy to see only the essential changes. ACK.
