Currently, if hvm USE flag is enabled it causes a conflict with net-libs/libiscsi. I suspect this is just an old artefact because it is copied over and over from older ebuilds. There's nothing in xen-tools code base that would indicate the limitation. In fact, it's quite the opposite. The following docker file installs libiscsi (although it runs under ubuntu): tools/qemu-xen/tests/docker/dockerfiles/ubuntu.docker-ENV PACKAGES flex bison \ tools/qemu-xen/tests/docker/dockerfiles/ubuntu.docker: libusb-1.0-0-dev libiscsi-dev librados-dev libncurses5-dev \ tools/qemu-xen/tests/docker/dockerfiles/ubuntu.docker- libseccomp-dev libgnutls-dev libssh2-1-dev libspice-server-dev \ We should reconsider this ebuild rule.
Just tested xen 4.11 with hvm (along with libiscsi having installed) and it compiles fine, so probably it's really a relic from the past.

Included into testing 4.11 as it would be good to stabilize 4.10. Please report back if anything is wrong, thank you.
