You must create user(s) for qemu to run as.
-Currently, you should either create
+
+Ideally, set aside a range of 32752 uids
+(from N to N+32751)
+and create a user
+whose name is B<xen-qemuuser-range-base>
+and whose uid is N
+and whose gid is a plain unprivileged gid.
+libxl will use one such user for each domid.
+
+Alternatively, either create
B<xen-qemuuser-domid$domid>
for every $domid from 1 to 32751 inclusive,
or
