PRIVILEGED_GUEST is only intended to enable domain0 functionality -- 
mostly it enables building our modified BIOS-table parsing and IO-APIC 
files. You can still build a domU with a PCI stack and real device 
drivers and grant that domU limited access to hardware resources. In 
that case it would be very reasonable to build it with a backend driver 
too, so it can multiplex its hardware resources.
