But Xend configures the blkback driver using the control interface messages, so the sizing of the ctrlif messages is still a problem (that was what Anthony was saying, I think).
I'm was trying at least :-)

That said, there would, of course, be ways this could be fixed. One nice side effect of supporting passing filenames to the blkback would be the ability to configure file based block devices when the backend is not dom0.
This brings up a really interesting point. Is there a good story yet for how more complex devices can be created on driver domains? For instance, how would you create an iSCSI device that existed on a driver domain (or is this something that wouldn't be all that useful)?

Can we assume an rexec capability between dom0 and a driver domain?
