What has been missing from the start, and is becoming more and more
painful, is
the lack of entropy/random in the guests. Having openssh not start due to
not
having entropy, or have openswan block way too long is causing me troubles.
Somehow linking the guests random to the host's random seems to be a very
useful feature to have, since all the entropy gathering device drivers are
not present in guests.
BTW, you should really send your suggestion to xen-devel mailing list to
be sure that Jeremy hears about it, since few of the upstream Xen developers
read this list...
