Bug Description

Running the default oneiric-desktop installer (amd64) in a hvm on a oneiric xen host doesn't work unless manually the xen-blkfront and xen-netfront are loaded. Also before rebooting, these modules as well as xen-platform-pci module need to be added to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and update-initramfs -u needs to be run, otherwise booting the installed os won't work.

Loading xenbus_probe_frontend would be neater.

We probably need to extend the partman plugin for this, and slot this in around where we currently activate DM-RAID.
