just wondering about the last one, would that add a message if trying
as non-root ?

Yes it does, so that third patch is wrong. In fact xenHypervisorInit
already produces errors for all paths except the one where opening the
HV connection fails.
OK to commit the first two?

Just make reporting the HV initialization error message conditional on
getuid() == 0. We always want to see the error if root, and never if
non-root.

Yes.

That's not good. With the call to virXenError as is in the patch, it
would hide other important errors. If we move the error to the part
where it can't open /proc/xen/privcmd, then people would get that error
when they didn't have Xen installed (more of a feature than an error).

Yes.
About to commit.
