Your diagram still shows some of the "major principle" of a Xen environment.

Personally i did not find any really wrong details, but the HVM and PV 
"difference" seems "underrepresented" a bit. While PV DomUs run "directly" on 
Hardware and just a part of the interaction with the hardware is going over 
dom0 or even "Xen" (xen is more a "switcher" between DomU, the HVM DomU runs 
on a "fully" virtualized hardware level between hardware and DomU OS - with a 
few "privileged" drivers. There is a huge difference in between both concepts 
and Xen PV is one of the major "features" of Xen.


hth a bit,


Niels.
