Managing loopback block devices (and other non-physical block devices) will 
get friendlier than it currently is.  They'll get automatically allocated, 
deallocated etc by Xend.

However, the functionality you want is much like we'd envisaged for the 
"cluster controller" some time in the future.  The idea behind it is to 
simplify the management of multiple Xen machines as a single pool of 
resources.

We have some preliminary design documents on this but no implementation as 
yet.  There are other people working on their own cluster management schemes 
(hi Brian, hi Steve ;-) but there's not a general-purpose Xen package for 
doing this.

If you're interested, we can post some of our design docs on this subject.

Cheers,
Mark
