Fine.

Ah, this would be a problem in any case.

Backend drivers need to run in privileged domains.  This basically means that 
they have access to a PCI device.  You could try the workaround Andy 
suggested a few days ago (grant access to a PCI device but don't compile the 
driver into the kernel so it leaves it alone).

Fine.

Yup.  But try getting privileges to work properly in DomU1 first.
