You mean
"Graphic console support - post 3.0"
?
I don't quiet get:
1 kernel fb mapping? or X server?

Do you mean how the virtual graphics card is "seen" by the dom0? Or/And
accessed? 

Imho, a glue-layer could abstract several approaches, for example 9P
(the Plan9-folks love it, I did not have the time to test it and thus I
don't have an opinion yet. However, I believe it is good ;-)) and VNC,
and the dom0 decides itsself howto access the "data" - this would be
pretty good because some OSes (which may be dom0-cabable some day) may
find method-N better (are optimized for it) than method-M... and so on
;-)
