This is another case of libxl exposing some internal implementation
detail IMO. Apps know what emulator they want to use, they don't know
what special xen bit to set, e.g. stubdom, traditional, new, newer, ...

NACK to this change. qemu supports kernel, initrd, and append args for
direct kernel boot, which is useful when installing a guest OS. libxl
should support this for HVM guests. I'm pretty sure this works in the
legacy stack.
