Let's turn this around a bit. Can we get Xen to keep a rock solid stable ABI? Where the interface to Xen from Dom0 is never expected to break? All old Dom0's will always work on Xen?
Document this interface, and that it will always work. If it is a clean interface, then perhaps Linux could work with it. But it would need to be non intrusive. I'll have to take some time to look at the Dom0 patches to see what exactly it requires. Perhaps there's better ways to accomplish what is being asked for.
