If by "convert" you mean "run these old dom0 on new version of dom0",
then you don't have to do anything. Old domU config should run just
fine.

If your question is "how to mount these new domU fs on dom0", then
it's a bit tricky.
One possible solution:

Another alternative is to map that disk to dom0. Something like :
- shutdown domU
- modprobe xenblk
- xm block-attach 0 phy:/dev/LG0/LV0 xvda w
This should give you xvda on dom0, along with its partitions (xvda1,
xvda2, etc.). After you're done using it, detach the block device with
"xm block-list" and "xm block-detach"
