For HVM domains, pae is only set in libxl_domain_build_info when
explicitly specified in the hypervisor <features> config. This is
fine for i686 machines, but is incorrect behavior for x86_64 machines
where pae must always be enabled. See the following discussion for
additional details

This will even rewrite explicit <pae enabled='no/>

I would check that it's not VIR_TRISTATE_SWITCH_OFF, then enable it and
during startup just fail if it is VIR_TRISTATE_SWITCH_ON.

    return 0;
