We thought about doing this, but the data that's needed for doing the tracking is very different from what an OS normally keeps. It would make the hypervisor API very messy, and significantly increase the difficulty of porting new OSes. Doing it in Xen hides most of the ugliness and reduces the number of protection domain crossings as well.
