Is any other VM started there too? Maybe some other VM (using such
netvm) is configured with autostart=True.
Another possibility is dom0 update check or dom0 clock sync. Those
actions require appropriate VM to be running (see global prefs -
updatevm, clockvm). I think they will be started for that.
