TODO; move Xen notes from the Online.net server page to here.
Toolstack
We chose xl over xen-tools. From http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/XL: "xl was introduced in the Xen 4.1 release, however xend remained the default. As of Xen 4.2 however xend is deprecated (and will be removed in subsequent XEN versions) and xl should now be used by default".
