Yes, and I'm hoping we can get pcifront and pvhvm lined up for .36; with
those in place, its a short jump to full dom0 functionality (which, no
promises, might also get into .36 on their tails).

Then the backend drivers will be the next hurdle.  Plain blkback is
probably fairly straightforward, and netback can probably got
upsteamable with a small amount of effort.  But blktap2 and netchannel2
are pretty questionable at this point.  ACPI power management will also
need another round of attention.
