Type Config Option
In Xen Project 4.10 we have made significant changes to the user interface.
Guest types are now selected using the type option in the configuration file, where users can select a pv, pvh or hvm guest.
The builder option is being deprecated in favour of the type option. The pvh option has been removed in builder (it will still work, but will create a PV guest) and a set of PVH specific options have been added.
