This is more an interesting point of information than something
directly useful to external users right now. It's one of the areas
we're next planning to investigate within the lab --- it will be
checked nto the BK tree as we go if possible (ie. if it doesn't
destabilise the tree too much).
However, I expect that it will be a few months at least before the
checked-in code is a viable replacement for the within-Xen drivers.
We'll keep you updated!
