Well, it's not the way one would have wanted it to be. But the end goal is to
have full-featured XenLinux either be upstream entirely, or a patch on the
side of upstream, which will be an improvement on the current situation.
Right now all the distros have to do extensive forward-porting work on the Xen
patches (with varying degrees of success, from what I've heard), which is
generally bad for everyone.
FWIW, Stephen Tweedie at RedHat has been working on adding dom0 support to
mainline Linux's pvops implementation. He already has a pvops kernel which
can boot either as a dom0 (and therefore as domU, too) or as a native kernel.
Some problems still to be worked out, but this is coming along... He has a
public git tree somewhere too. I can find a link if you're interested.
Fingers crossed that this stuff keeps moving forwards quickly!
Cheers,
Mark
