Hi

Please let in ldetect, drakx-installer-binaries, drakx-installer-stage2 &
drakx-installer-images.
They bring support for installing on Xen (PV).

- ldetect: add support for detecting Xen blk & net controllers (mga#9546)

Once it's available, please submit:
- drakx-installer-binaries: probe virtual drivers too (mga#9546)
  (install from Xen hd not supported yet but fetching installer from HD is
  not that usefull when virtualized)
- drakx-installer-stage2: fix detecting Xen hard disks (mga#9546)

Once drakx-installer-binaries is available, please submit drakx-installer-images
(both to core/release and to nonfree-release):
it'll include new stage1 binary in stage1 (boot.iso and all.rdz) so that
we support installing on Xen.

Tested on Xen paravirtualising on legacy (no KVM support) HW.

Thx
