It did not, and creating it seemed to be sufficient to get the pygrub 
boot to work.

I'm pretty sure this directory didn't exist when this machine was 
running 415.

Interestingly my other DOM0 box, which is still running 415, does have 
that directory, but looks like it was last touched in 2018 so a left 
over from a much older xen there.
