Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 01/10] docs: don't refer to deprecated 'linux' ostype in example

Use preferred name: 'xen'.
I'd be fine with this change if the actual code used the preferred name too :-).
E.g. config containing
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>xen</type>
will be shown as
<type arch='x86_64' machine='xenpv'>linux</type>
after virsh define; virsh dumpxml. Also, virsh domxml-from-native will produce
the linux variant.

Jim
