The current dom0 kernel patches can boot up to a fully functional dom0 usersmode, and you can start xend to see that domain 0 is running. I *think* in theory you can create a deviceless domain, but I haven''t tried it. I''m currently working on blktap support. I really need to put together a proper status update. Now that dom0 usermode is working, its a much better base for other people start contributing.
