Xen paravm kernel initrd

Create a paravm using the default kernel, hope for the best. xen_create_image.

Install the distro's Xen kernel inside the paraVM, allowing it to create an initrd automatically.

Copy out of the paravm the initrd (and vmlinuz kernel) into the host (dom0) and point the kernel= and initrd= configuration parameters to it.
