Xen devel - Mar 2006 - compatibility

It had been my understanding that the intention after the 3.0.0 release was to
maintain binary compatibility so that
older kernels would always be able to run on newer hypervisors. There now again
(there was at least one other case) was
a checkin that broke this (c/s 9120), and I wonder whether I am mistaken with
the above assumption.

Thanks, Jan

We make that guarantee for unprivileged domUs (not dom0, nor domains 
with physical device access).
