Err, aren't you simply describing something similar to domDs, the Driver
domains that dom0 disaggregation plans already imagined?  I don't know
how far it is currently finished, but there is not so much redesign
needed: domUs frontends simply have to talk to domDs backends instead of
dom0 (not so big overhaul, mostly device paths in xenstore and details),
domDs being allowed to drive hardware directly independently from each
other (can be done through VT-d).
