Can we get more info about this? I assume this means that you can compile 
a stock linux kernel for use as a domU... how about a dom0? And since the 
kernel compile is separate from the current xen packaged compile which 
builds the hypervisor, I guess this will imply a fairly formal/strict API?
or should I just go download it and try it out? I'll try to find time for 
that.
