Adding Benedict who wrote the Xen handbook documentation, and hopefully would be able to fix it :).

It seems there's one piece missing in the handbook which I didn't realize, the if_tap module needs to be loaded for QEMU to work. I suggest the following is added to the handbook: ``` sysrc -f /boot/loader.conf if_tap_load="YES" ``` And then I've also realized the following line: ``` sysrc -f /boot/loader.conf hw.pci.mcfg=0 ``` Is only needed for Xen 4.7, but not for Xen 4.11. Finally it might be interesting to add a reference to the location of the Xen logs. This should likely be added at the end of the document, I think something along the lines of: ``` Xen toolstack related logs can be found at /var/log/xen/ be sure to check the contents of that directory if experiencing issues. ``` Sorry to bother you Benedict, but do you think you could make the following changes? Thanks, Roger.
