For what its worth, I've recently had significant issues building a
good pvops Dom0 kernel.  At first it wouldn't boot (kernel oops) then
it had an odd permission issue with /dev/pts/* that stopped xterm/bash
from working.

I went through the mud and found a configuration [1] that avoids
whatever issues I was hitting.  I thought about running a diff against
this and whatever the default was, but there would be lots of noise
due to many preference-specific changes (ex: built in all options
specifically matching my hardware).
