Hi,

What changes would have to be made if I wanted to have a domU create VMs?
I tried installing the xen tools into a domU rootfs image, and then booted the domU. However, xend refuses to start inside the domU.

I realise the changes might be extensive, but I just want an idea of what needs to be done.

Also, I find that hardcoded checks like
if (current-> domain->domain_id != 0)
return -EPERM
are extremely few in the current hypervisor.

Regards,
Hayawardh
