It is true that most of the gating jobs are running on KVM but the smokestack tests also run on Xen (actually XenServer with the XenAPI driver), so there is CI testing for Xen and we'll be improving that through Havana as well.

Nothing to be alarmed about IMO.  That simply provides info about some of the many ongoing improvements and enhancements to the nova libvirt driver, which is the most widely used driver btw, including in all the CI gating.
