Two core issues

For paravirt the framebuffer can be configured in either old style:

   vnc=1
   vncunused=1

Or new style

   vfb = ["type=vnc,vncunused=1"

The problem was that with Xen > 3.0.3 we were only handling the latter
and not the former. We needed to process both styles for compatability.


The second part of it is that while we handled

   <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' />

Converting to 'vncunused=1'.  We did not handle

   <graphics type='vnc' port='5905' />

Which needs to convert to vncunused=0, and vncdisplay=5

Dan.
