Bug Description
Upgrading to 14.04 (Trusty) will change the default toolstack to xl. This will cause VMs that have been created persistently (through xm or libvirt) to not be available anymore.
Possible solutions:
- Manually change the toolstack back to xm (highly discouraged as the next release of xen has no xm anymore)
- We will be providing migration scripts to convert xm-sxpr format into xen-xm config files or libvirt xml.
- Have some information in the release notes and document the conversion on a wiki.

For the migration scripts I will add one to Xen and libvirt. They will only convert guests which have no target config file of the same name and after one successful run they will create a file in /var/lib which prevents them to run again.
