Hello Colin, I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not sure this is the best way to move forward, I would prefer to just have the files merged directly into the GENERIC kernel rather than having to load a module. Also with the PVHVM changes I've posted earlier I'm modifying some common files, which cannot be put into a module, so it makes me wonder if it's worth it to have some Xen specific code into a module while the rest of it is already integrated into GENERIC.
