Linux 3.0 Will Have Full Xen Support

GPLHost-Thomas writes "The very last components that were needed to run Xen as a dom0 have finally reached kernel.org. The Xen block backend was one major feature missing from 2.6.39 dom0 support, and it's now included. Posts on the Xen blog, at Oracle and at Citrix celebrate this achievement."

Xen Dom0 support has been supported in released versions of NetBSD and Solaris for something like 4 years, while the VMWare lobby on the LKML was requiring the entire paravirtualisation subsystem to be rewritten before they'd accept patches, and Red Hat decided to push KVM as a Xen replacement, in spite of them having very different capabilities.
