The problem is that the Xen driver expects the OS type to be

'xen' is the correct value, since its refering to a guest ABI & the ABI
is xen, not linux. Since we can't break XML semantics we have to stick
with 'linux'. Thus I've added a workaround to make virt-install still
use 'linux' if talking to the Xen driver.
Can we not make the Xen driver accept either?
