1) I found
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/3208 which seems
to address this case and see "(XEN) Interrupt remapping enabled" [with
lowercase "r"] in my xl dmesg output too.
2) This might be related but I'm having trouble finding if this patch has
made it into the version of Xen Qubes uses.

3) I see what seem to be partially installed templates under
/var/lib/qubes/vm-templates but fedora-25 for example has 4.5 1GB
root.img.part.0? files and no root.img.
