This brings up a really interesting point. Is there a good story yet
for how more complex devices can be created on driver domains? For
instance, how would you create an iSCSI device that existed on a driver
domain (or is this something that wouldn't be all that useful)?
Can we assume an rexec capability between dom0 and a driver domain?
