OpenSolaris on Xen update

We've just posted a significant update to the source and binaries of the OpenSolaris on Xen project.

New capabilities include OpenSolaris as domain 0 - currently the controlling domain, and I/O domain for Xen-based systems - as well as both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels, diskful and diskless guests, and up to 32-way virtual SMP.

It's been a lot of work by a small team of dedicated people. It's still a work-in-progress, there are bugs, things we haven't finished yet etc., but we thought it was a good time to share where we are so far with the OpenSolaris developer community.

Excellent! Having watched the BSDs painful progress towards dom0 support, all I can say is you don't hang around :)
