What do > you think? Resurrecting that old thread. I think that the new architecture of libvirt, as in 0.1.0 should make the work of adding a driver for something like l4 quite easier. The main libvirt.c code may still call directly the Xen drivers, but that should now be easy to tidy up and plug new modules.
