XEN of RHEL5.x DOM0 provides a qemu-dm command at /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm, Can I run libguestfs with it? I have tried run libguestfs with kqemu, but it always cause system hang.

This is not a normal QEMU binary. This is a seriously hacked up binary tailored to serve as the guest HVM guest emulation layer. It is no longer capable of running as a normal QEMU emulator.> I have tried run libguestfs with kqemu, but it always cause system hang.kqemu is notoriously unreliable, hence upstream QEMU has even stopped including support for it in new releases.
