As an FYI, there's nothing KVM-specific about Quantum.  I know of
significant deployments of Quantum on both KVM and XenServer platforms with
OpenStack.

I'm not familiar with xcp-networkd so I can't really provide a comparison,
but at a high-level Quantum is about exposing an API for tenant control of
networking, and allowing different technologies to act as pluggable
backends to implement this generic network API.
