I’m only looking at the doc side of things.  Minor comments:

> +@cindex xen
> +@cindex xen guest agent

“Xen”, capitalized.

> +The Xen guest agent allows a Xen host to control the emulated system.
> +The @code{xe-guest-utilities} service runs the agent on Guix guests.

I’m surprised it’s all “xe-”, not “xen-”, but I guess that’s the way it
is.  :-)

It would be nice to add a sentence or two about what said utilities do,
perhaps with a link to upstream documentation if that helps?

> +@item @code{log-file} (default: @code{"/var/log/xe-guest-utilities.log"})
> +Path to @code{xe-guest-utilities} log file.

“Name of the @code{xe-guest-utilities} log file.”

(We use the term “path” for “search paths”.)

Apart from that LGTM!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
