I think the title says it all.

I'm wondering about installing OpenBSD as DomU onto my XEN-3 dom0 that's
running Gentoo/Linux (x86).

My CPU doesn't support any VT so it should run only para-virtualizing
the devices.

Has anyone any experience with that? Is it possible?
How are the performances?

I read about poor performance (but the thread was dated 2008 so I guess
something has changed so far).

Thank you.

What about the other *BSD?

I guess there's no way to boot a BSD kernel without HVM, then :(

FreeBSD 8 has Xen Dom-U support. But i had no already try that support, but saw how-tos about setting of such VMs
