Thanx for the long analysis. Obviously if something from the dazuko project is 
going to get into mainline, we don't want to do what's frowned on. For now, 
I'm mostly using xen on fedora, where the kernel is still at 2.6.21, and thus 
still supports dazuko. And the buzz about fc9 is it won't support dom0, so I 
suspect I'll be using my compiled binary for some time to come. (Fedora is 
going to concentrate on later kernels with builtin support for domu via the 
pvops api, and will roll out dom0 when it becomes mainline - late fc9, or 
fc10.) And as I said, SuSE won't be a problem either. So, at least for me, 
you still have time to get DazukoFS/NullFS working.

Forge on!
