No, I think the goal is to run OpenBSD as DomU.
It seems NetBSD can run in Dom0, so OpenBSD could as well. Ideally, Dom0
should of course be running something small/minimal, and not a complete
Linux/NetBSD/... like it is the case now, to keep the size of the TCB
smaller.

A minor detail: OpenBSD will run on the Xen virtual machine monitor and
not on Linux or Windows (like VMWare). So the Linux instance (or even
multiple of them) will run in parallel to the OpenBSD domain.
