Yes, I am trying to run it in Xen Domain0. I thought that we can use
Domain0 as a public libguestfs VM, This will avoid starting a new

task. So this way isn't available.
Now, i am considering if we can run private VM for libguestfs which
will keep running forever and if it will bring more trouble.
User-Mode Linux is also a possibility. Slow but consistent
performance. Unfortunately it lacks several important features
(notably qcow2 support). The other unfortunate thing is that we
didn't support UML in 1.20 -- it was added in 1.24.
