xl sched-credit -d ${current_name}-dm -w 1000 # execute after sleep nn

It’s in Xen tools, installed by Qubes tools but that module is not
installed by default by Qubes tools as it is buggy with unpatched win 7.
Since the script patches Win 7 it should be ok. I downloaded the 8.2.2
version of the xenvbd driver (don’t use unsigned daily build) from the xen
site and installed that manually. Then you can use qui-devices widget to
attach devices.
It’d be nice to add automating that to the winmgmt VM downloads, iso
mounting and installing steps.
