This is how we brought up Solaris domU, and we've done sporadic testing
since. I'm not sure, but you may need to turn off checksumming via
ethtool on the Linux dom0. Also, if you're not using Sun's version of
Xen, you may experience instability with SMP domUs (this is related to
writable pagetables). But it should certainly work in theory... if you
manage to get it working, we'd appreciate hearing about your
experiences...
