[Rdo-list] Is RDO Juno (Kilo) supposed to support Xen Hypervisor on Compute Node ?

qemu/libvirt/kernel etc. are provided by base OS, not RDO.
Fedora 22 has qemu 2.3.0 rc1
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=623500
and for EL we would depend on CentOS VirtSIG to provide appropriate
qemu package, if base EL version is not enough.

Xen parts were not sub-packaged, our focus  was kvm, but I'd be happy
to review proposal to add it in openstack-nova RPM.
Please note that required libvirt-daemon-xen is not available on all
Fedora arches https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=996715#c14
so this needs to be resolved somehow.
