 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.

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.

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).

OK to commit the first two?

Yes.

About to commit.

Rich.
