+===> IMPORTANT NOTICES:
+
+In order to complete the installation, and enable Xen,
+at the very least you must:
+1. If using GRUB2, edit your GRUB2 config files as specified at
+    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen#Bootloader_Configuration
+
+    Support for the grub-mkconfig command was added, and will auto-discover
+     the deployed xen hypervisor and linux kernel
+2. If booting via efi, copy the example /etc/xen/efi-xen.cfg to /boot/xen.cfg
+   and edit the contents to match the settings you need.
+3. Issue the following commands to allow you to create and start VMs:
+
+    systemctl enable xen-qemu-dom0-disk-backend.service
+    systemctl enable xen-init-dom0.service
+    systemctl enable xenconsoled.service
+
+   Other optional services are:
+    systemctl enable xen-watchdog.service
+
+4. If you want some domains to automatically start up/shutdown, run the following:
+    systemctl enable xendomains.service
+
+For more information refer to the Wiki:
+    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xen

+
+Note: If you are upgrading from one of the previous 4.2 xen builds, and are having issues
+      with graphics card passthrough, the default device model used has changed and the 
+      newer model can sometimes have issues. To work around these issue, support for the
+      old style qemu-xen-traditional device model has been enabled. To use, add (or change)
+      the following line into the configuration file for the domain you want to use 
+      passthrough with:
+         device_model_version = "qemu-xen-traditional"
+
+      Also remember to rebuild your grub configuration if upgrading from a non-xen 4.5.0
+      install.
+
+      The xend daemon and the xm toolset have now been removed with the xen 4.5 release.
+
+      This install is now using a new version of the 09_xen file, used when generating
+      a new grub.cfg file. The new version inherits the default linux kernel command
+      line settings; to use the old method, uncomment the 'XEN_LINUX_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE'
+      option in /etc/xen/grub.conf and change the '0' to '1'

+kernel instead of Xen kernel.
