Actually, my mistake. -server does include CONFIG_XEN_PLATFORM_PCI but /lib/modules/3.0.0-12-server/kernel/drivers/xen/xen-platform-pci.ko (at the very least) is not being built into the initrd for some reason, even on the distributed version. I somehow doubt the Phoronix guys built their own kernel. That would imply they were using emulated disks. -- Alex Bligh
