One that can already be seen.  The test works when run on Xen 4.3, but
fails on 4.4.  E.g. c_info gained some new fields

        "poolid": 0,
        "run_hotplug_scripts": "<default>",
+        "pvh": "<default>",
+        "driver_domain": "<default>"
    },

And on_watchdog's value changed

    "on_poweroff": null,
    "on_reboot": "destroy",
-    "on_watchdog": null,
+    "on_watchdog": "destroy",
    "on_crash": "destroy"

Regards,
Jim
