Me, personally, would be interested in the performance in the case that
the DomU accesses a block device on the host though the "most optimized"
case - namely if the DomU is using the Xen frontend and the Xen backend
of the Dom0 to access the device.

There are many questions, like:
Does Xen allow the DomU to make multiple requests that are then queued
on the Dom0 or even passed to the lower level SCSI/SATA driver of the
Dom0? And so on ...
