Xen's traditionally been event-driven, but I think there's a feeling that
hypervisor threads may happen at some point. I don't know what the details
are though. (side note: IIRC, there was a load balancer design that used the
idle domain as a "hypervisor thread" - maybe you could hack something in
there?)
The other possibility, I guess, is that depending on what you want to do you
might be able to add a hypercall interface so that the "thread context" can
be a kernel / user thread in dom0.
Cheers,
Mark
