Bug Description

The move from libvirt 1.2.8 to 1.2.12 is causing two problems with the libxl driver:
1. xml validation will fail for loader and bootloader without full pathnames
2. the driver tries to identify the device model version by calling the emulator binary which was previously ignored

Fixing this for now by allowing non absolute pathnames (starting with /) for loader and bootloader and fixing up configurations to use /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 instead of qemu-dm (which does not exist anymore). This was done before while ignoring the emulator setting.

  * Fix xml validation for Xen by allowing non-absolute path values
    in loader and bootloader elements (LP: #1425497).
  * Fix up Xen emulator in old configurations and for new definitions to
    point to /usr/bin/qemu-system-i386 (LP: #1425497).
