Just trying to get my head around some notes on the gentoo list about hardened kernels. Some notes that I have seen suggest that xen does not currently "work" with grsec in the guest kernels?

If not, then does the xen patchset currently apply "cleanly" to the hardened patchset?

The motivation is that right now there are a few ways to harden a machine, including splitting services via vserver/xen, etc or hardening via grsec, selinux, etc. It would be nice to be able to combine these to get the best of both approaches and not have to choose.

FWIW: I did do a manual merge of the vserver and grsec patchsets, but I am not totally happy that the end result necessarily does what you would expect...
