Re: [Xen-devel] Hosting xenstore in a separate domain

[Alex Zeffertt <alex.zeffertt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes.  You only need a patched kernel if you uncomment the '#STUBDOM=yes' line in 
/etc/sysconfig/xenstore.  By default xenstore stubdoms are not enabled, and you 
get a dom0 daemon that works equally well with a patched kernel or an unpatched 
kernel.
