A proper Dom0 port of XEN to OpenBSD would solve this by removing the linux dependency. However this would probably require a significant effort on OpenBSD side and a XEN Hypervisor code audit. Also from earlier discussion on the list it seems this kind of virtualization may impact on security, which is in direct contrast with OpenBSD goals. Can someone elaborate more on this? ciao Luca
