Another thing that would be nice would be a hook to allow for custom
firewall rules. One of our VMs has a special relationship with a port
on Dom0. I'd like to be able to add a firewall rule that allows input
packets from vifX.0 to Dom0 on this port. I have not proposed anything
upstream yet; I am trying to fix the two bugs first.
