Yes.  The current driver is a hack, which creates the shared page when
invoked (in dom0) with "create" as a module param.  However, you can
attach as many domUs as you want to that same LAN.

No 8(.  I'm going to write a block driver and see what that's like.
I was surprised at how aggressively Xen is switching between domains
when an event channel was activated: so much so that we rarely got 32
packets off before the switch.   Less aggressive scheduling will
definitely help us, and possibly help the existing drivers.

Thanks, just fiddling.  It'll be interesting to see what changes the PPC
guys will need for this.
Cheers!
