Indeed, ACM/sHype supports dynamic loading of security policies at boot time. The policy can be provided as a multiboot module.

We are planning to go one step further and add a legacy (non-security) mode to the ACM. Then, an ACM-enabled Xen kernel will offer users the option to switch security on and off at boot time without recompilation.
