Xen devel - Feb 2005 - module loading in Xen VMM?

Hi, is there any mechanism in Xen VMM to load a module? If I want to extend Xen
VMM functionality, what is the best way to add code to it? Thanks.

No, and I don''t think we want one either.

Most functionality can be implemented in a guest domain. I''ve heard no
convincing arguments for why *hypervisor* functionality needs to be
extended at run time. There are several good reasons not to (simplicity,
security).

Edit, compile, run :-)
