The GA baremetal kernel was screwed up with last minute dynamic tick
patches which make it impossible to boot under Xen HVM.

Use the paravirt kernel instead.
Does that mean just run the kernel-xen in the HVM? Or does it
mean do a paravirt install of F7? (The paravirt install is
kinda difficult with the FC6 host still being xen 3.0.3 and
64 bit 3.0.3 not knowing how to talk down to a 32 bit VM :-).
Though running the FC6 kernel seems to work OK for now. Eventually
I imagine a new kernel will show up on F7 that actually works,
so perhaps I'll just wait for that.
