I recently made a build of xen 4.10.0 and installed it.
I have a pre-existing HVM guest that uses the following configuration:
1 hard drive using the phy disk backend.  The guest also uses a device
model stubdomain.  After upgrading, it refuses to start, due to a
stubdomain timeout:

Parsing config from somedomain
libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:2203:stubdom_xswait_cb: Domain 32:Stubdom 33 for 32 
startup: startup timed out
libxl: error: libxl_create.c:1538:domcreate_devmodel_started: Domain 32:device 
model did not start: -9
libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:1000:libxl__destroy_domid: Domain 32:Non-existant 
domain
libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:959:domain_destroy_callback: Domain 32:Unable to 
destroy guest
libxl: error: libxl_domain.c:886:domain_destroy_cb: Domain 32:Destruction of 
domain failed

There is nothing in the logs.

I noticed that a similar guest was booting with no issue.  The
difference was that the booting guest also had a CD-ROM attached.  That
CD-ROM used the qdisk backend, because it is backed by an ISO9660 image file.
I changed the disk parameter in the first non-booting guest so that it
used the qdisk backend rather than phy, and it booted with no trouble.

Has anyone else had an issue like this after upgrading to 4.10?  I did
some searching, and I didn't find anything.  I'm a bit surprised by
that.  Since this is so easy for me to reproduce, and no one else has
mentioned it, I wonder if my build could be subtly broken somehow.
