Hi,

I've been working toward porting OpenBSD/amd64 for the Xen Virtual 
Machine Monitor for a few months.
It's not 100% complete, but most is already working for domU.

Here's a list of the current issues/missing things:
- virtual NIC driver is not fonctionnal, some part of the code still 
needs to be fixed for packet transfer from/to Xen to work.
- events/clock issue: there seems to be a race condition leading to 
clock not ticking, hence putting system to sleep till a 
keyboard/network/disk interrupt is received.
- SMP is currently not supported.

I'll make a kernel binary, a disk image and sources available shortly.

Regards,
Mathieu
