You can use filebacked vbd, physical partitions or lvms - whatever you 
wish. Export that to Dom-U through its configuration file and mount it 
on the Dom-U.

You can do, but very dangerous. Exporting a filesystem which mounted 
read-write on Dom0 to a DomU read-write would corrupt the filesystem.  
You can do export it read-only which would be fine with /usr.
