Just a note [possibly more of a warning] that I'm intending to switch
the default backend in Fedora 18+ to libvirt this week. For more
information about what this means, see:

Barring any bugs, the change ought to be transparent. The reasons why
we're making this change in Fedora are:
- Because in RHEL 7 this will be the default and we want to test it.
- Improved encapsulation and security through sVirt.
- Allows us to implement advanced features, especially disk
hotplugging and access to remote disks.
Note there's no change upstream. libvirt still isn't required.
Rich.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
