Xen PV domU's have no PCI bus. node_device_udev.c calls pci_system_init which looks for /sys/bus/pci. If it does not find /sys/bus/pci (which it won't in a Xen PV domU) it returns unsuccesfully (ENOENT), which libvirt considers fatal. This makes libvirt unusable in this environment, even though there are plenty of valid virtualisation options that work there (LXC, UML, and QEmu spring to mind) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709471 Signed-off-by: Soren Hansen <soren@linux2go.dk>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
