I'm actually optimistic we can beat them into an upstreamable state, at
least eventually.  Devil's in the details, of course, but the
pre-existing Xen foothold in the kernel and x86 unification should make
it easier to add interfaces to allow the dom0 stuff to work, so long as
we're careful and exercise good taste.
