Keir, and Xen-devel mailing list,

Attached are three patches that help Dom0 and DomU respectivly when
both Xen backend and Xen-frontend drivers are modules.

a) The first two are to make 'xen-detect' be more useful in initrd
/initramfs situations. It can return 1 when running in PV context,
2 in HVM context, and 0 if Xen has not been detected. Also there are
three arguments: -P, -H, and -N, which will print a string value
if we are in either PV, HVM or no Xen context, respectivly.

An example user of this patch to Fedora's dracut:

b) The xend init script is to load backend drivers if they
are modules.
