Summary
The implementation for NovaSpec:raw-disk-images only covered libvirt. The same feature needs to be implemented for the XenAPI backend.
The API has all been decided as part of the NovaSpec:raw-disk-images work, so we just need to implement the same functionality in the XenAPI compute backend. If the kernel and ramdisk are not set (strictly, set to a "magic" value to indicate their absence) then we will boot the VM in HVM mode, and stream only the disk image to the host.
