Re: [Xen-devel] isa_bus_to_virt_needs_PRIVILEGED_BUILD

[Ron Arts <ron.arts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay,

So far I thought the xen0 kernel was only to be used for the
first domain (which is called domain 0 in the documentation,
hence my confusion).

After reading the docs more thoroughly, I discovered the
concept of 'driver domains' which can be used as 'backends
for other domains'.

So, apparently you can use xen0 kernels more than
once on a machine, and you can use them to support
hardware.

But what is a backend domain, and how does it connect
to a driver domain?

Is that described somewhere?
