Thread-topic:	[Xen-devel] module loading in Xen VMM?

> Hi, is there any mechanism in Xen VMM to load a module? 

No, and I don't think we want one either.

Most functionality can be implemented in a guest domain. I've heard no
convincing arguments for why *hypervisor* functionality needs to be
extended at run time. There are several good reasons not to (simplicity,
security).

Edit, compile, run :-)
