Hi,
What is the difference between a kernel with Xen but not used (Dom0 node) and a kernel without Xen code at all? For distrib, it could be very important that we have a standard kernel *with* Xen even if 95% of users don't use it (if the perf impact is null or low) so the 5% of the user that need/want Xen can use it out of the box without recompiling.

So, is there a perf penalty if Xen is in the kernel?
Thanks
-jec
