[LEDE-DEV] Xen PVHVM drivers

I have been using OpenWrt to build HVM DomU guests under Xen for some
time. From what I can tell, Xen's PVHVM drivers (namely, netfront and
blkfront) are not available on my OpenWrt DomU guests, and thus the
guests rely on the slower QEMU-based drivers. As a result, the network
and disk performance of these DomU guests is not optimal.

I did notice that Felix removed the Xen DomU subtarget in January.
Would it be possible to return support for Xen's front-end virtual device
drivers for use with HVM guests?
