Unfortunately libvirt has another bug related to the qemu
ssh driver, as described here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1434651#c3
Until this bug is fixed we have to require the direct backend to be
used for xen+ssh conversions.
This partially reverts commit ecbf09385033ba0acf14e914927ec81ad20a5308.

LGTM if you amend the bug number to RHBZ#1140166 in commit log and
error message.
Should this also be documented briefly in the manual? I.e. mention that,
due to libvirt limitations, Xen conversions using the libvirt backend
will not work, and this the direct backend is needed.
Thanks,
