I looked into Xen a little while ago and at that time I think the best
option for limiting dom0 users' access to Xend was just to make dom0 a
control OS only.  Has this changed?  Are there new security features
in Xen3 dom0's?  Are there cool OS tools now to mitigate this problem
by making dom0 able to be really small?

Thankyou for any advice/pointers.
