Xen PV domU's have no PCI bus. node_device_udev.c calls pci_system_init which looks for /sys/bus/pci. If it does not find /sys/bus/pci (which it won't in a Xen PV domU) it returns unsuccesfully (ENOENT), which libvirt considers fatal. This makes libvirt unusable in this environment, even though there are plenty of valid virtualisation options that work there (LXC, UML, and QEmu spring to mind)
