No :(

This one _MUST_ be a module for anaconda to work.  Installer heavily
depends on that fact.

If you have an unified kernel for dom0/domU, then xenbus get _really_
confused if you boot domU without backend drivers.  I think that this
has already been fixed, but I am not sure (we used to have here a 5
seconds timeout or so).

Once having to had 4 as modules, and the backend modules are not needed
on the frontend, and viceversa, then we did everything as modules.

If you put (latest kudzdu already does it) 

	alias scsi_hostadapter xenblk

Should make a kernel with that configuration boot.

Are you having any specific problem?

Later, Juan.
