Xen devel - Jun 2013 - [PATCH] Properly control platform device creation in upstream QEMU

The xen_platform_pci xl configuration parameter currently has no effect on
upstream QEMU; creation of the platform device is hardcoded.
I have created a patch to QEMU to remove this hardcoded creation. This patch
specifies the appropriate -device argument on the QEMU command line (and
hence creates the device) only when xen_platform_pci is true.
