The patches are not in the upstream tree yet, you'd need to apply the
latest patch series from Anthony Perard, it's posted to qemu-devel about
once a week.

Correct, upstream qemu has a different command line to the qemu-xen fork
(I think qemu-xen's syntax is the same as upstream qemu's from the time
of the fork -- i.e. ages ago).

libxl (and therefore the xl toolstack) has code to deal with both
command line syntaxes.
