In that case we have to add 'xen' to "mid_dirs" above.

Otherwise there's various other complains. ... sound like this is a bit
deserted area. My selection to add cpu under xenapi/|xenconfig/) was to
have it at lease minimized to the world of xen arena.

Appreciate below insight and added change adding fixated cpuDefaultFeatures for
testsutils under xen.
Charm on below is that is saves us from the additional brought allocation under
VIR_STRDUP. Let me bring you PATCH v4 next Monday which also includes the signature
correction as suggested initially.
