This is what I meant to hint at earlier: Running an OpenBSD DomU in

connection with, say, a Linux Xen Dom0 possibly makes that OpenBSD

installation subject to bugs in the hypervisor/Dom0, and that may be

unavoidable. The question is, is that a worthwhile trade-off? Is this

a reason not to support Xen? Or should the user be given that option

regardless of the inherent limitations and consequences?
