No, because Xen requires the 'dom0' support, which to my knowledge exists for kernel version 2.6.18 and for kernel 2.6.26 only, whereas we use kernel 2.6.32. We already support Vmware (both Server and ESX) and VirtualBox, and there are plans to even have support for Hyper-V in the future.
Why? Various reasons. The most obvious is support for optimized drivers.
At present paravirt_ops is available for x86_32, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.
Xen pv_ops (domU) support has been in mainline Linux since 2.6.23, and is the basis of all on-going Linux/Xen development.
I can't agree with you there.
And domU is all you need ...
Maybe it's all YOU need, but maybe other customers want to run multiple ASGs on our hardware too. This is something we have to consider.
