In dom0, or in dedicated driver domains, as in Xen 2.0. Some more setup 
code (e.g. PCI bus setup and handling) has also been moved into dom0 for 
Xen 3.0 - makes it easier to stay compatible with the same hardware as 
native Linux.

For high bandwidth transfers, shared memory communication rings and event 
channels are used for interdomain communications. For low bandwidth 
messaging and setup communications, a hierarchical "registry" called 
xenstore is used instead of the old style "control messages". The console 
will now use a separate shared memory page.
Xen <-> domain communication is via hypercalls, events (virtual IRQs) and 
(occasionally) shared memory.
