Xenvbd installs xenhide as a filter for all scsi and ide drivers. Xennet
installs xenhide as a filter for all network devices. So in theory (I
haven't tested it) if you have never installed xenvbd or xennet, nothing
will be hidden.

I've been looking into the chkdsk-on-boot problem someone mentioned, and
have found that Windows gives me unaligned buffers when doing chkdsks,
and may well do it at other times too. I am creating a workaround for
this but there will be a performance hit (but only when the buffers are
unaligned).

Unfortunately I've just made a typo somewhere and trashed my DomU... ah
the perils of driver development. Fortunately lvm snapshot makes this
not such a big deal :)

I hope to have that problem fixed soon, which may well be the cause of
some of these seemingly-random BSoD's.

James
