it works, at least on "physical-disk" configurations (will check on vn0d 
domains)

indeed, I just checked with the Xen0 kernel from the 200508030000Z snapshot 
(as I only changed the kernel without upgrading the userland, I'm a bit 
worried about incompatibilities ? is it a "normal" way to run a NetBSD 
machine ?)

I'm getting some error messages on the serial console :
xbdback: domain 2 sending excessively fragmented I/O

Is this something to be afraid of ?
