Yup.  If you find the dom0 defconfig (it's somewhere under arch/xen/configs, I 
think) and copy that to .config first, you'll start off with more useful 
defaults for what you want to do.

I think the initial config defaults to being a domU (which makes sense, I 
think).

The other problem is that if you go disable Physical Device Access, it has the 
knock-on effect of the Linux configurator disabling loads of other things 
that you have to go back and turn on...

No probs.  Probably easiest to start with the dom0 config rather than figure 
out all the dependencies in the Linux build system (unless you really want 
to!!!)

Cheers,
Mark
