Is this really the case, though?
Assuming we're not talking about dynamically loadable modules here, there
would seem to be a fairly limited gain in ease of extension: Xen compiles
*very* quickly already, sufficiently so that it's not particularly
significant compared to the time taken to reboot your machine to test your
changes.
I wouldn't expect the ability to recompile a module separately to make much
difference to this...
There are circumstances where it might be nice to load *something* into Xen at
boot time though... I think the ACM / sHype work supports (or at least,
supported at some stage) loading policy data as a multiboot module.
Cheers,
Mark
