In the literature you will read that NBSD are treating the Xen port as a 
a garden variety cpu architecture port.

OBSD developers apparently will not support Xen. They have no faith in 
Linux as the Host OS, or perhaps any other OS as a Host OS. As the NBSD 
base is the progenitor of OBSD the port difficulty should be 
reasonable. However, without the cooperation of obsd there is little 
point in going forward. mickey@ could shed light on this scuttlebutt, 
but this sort of thing is below their radar or interest.

The FBSD port is ongoing, apparently.

CTS, I would like to hear about (dis)similar efforts as Xen on the *BSD 
front. Anyone? Or, howabout the state of VM, or virtualization?
