PRIVILEGED_GUEST is only intended to enable domain0 functionality --
mostly it enables building our modified BIOS-table parsing and IO-APIC
files. You can still build a domU with a PCI stack and real device
drivers and grant that domU limited access to hardware resources. In
that case it would be very reasonable to build it with a backend driver
too, so it can multiplex its hardware resources.
