Hi Pasi,
i’m using both addresses, but probably @gmale missed some emails with maillist.
About DilOS + Xen.
i’m using xen-3.4 - old version what i backported to DilOS based on old opensolaris varsion and upadted it to use python2.7 and some others zfs updates - more updates :) i tried to port Xen-4.3, but not finished it yet because i have no found sponsors and i have been moved to some aonther job without DilOS/illumos activities. try to do it by free time was/is overhead.
i have plans try to return back and look at latest Xen.
right now i try to move DilOS bulid env to use more Debian style build env and to use gcc-5.4 as primary compiler. Also, i have SPARC support with DilOS and it eat some additional free time. please do not drop solaris support :) - i’ll use and update it soon - probably on next year. I have a lot of updates on my dilos-illumos fork for xen support. and i have no illumos as is - i have more additional changes on my tree - for example: i’m using gcc5 as primary compiler intead of others illumos distributions still using gcc44.
Right now DilOS can work as dom0 with pv/hvm guests, but with old xen-3.4. you can find examples for guests at:
and sorry for missed something - xen-devel maillist is very active and i have no a lot of time to read it now :) ping me directly to my dilos.org email if you need some additional info.
best regards, -Igor

Xen tools contain several sources specific to Solaris, e.g. in

Is this still required? If yes, all of it?
Google tells me Oracle has dropped XVM support on Solaris.
Openindiana seems to have replaced XVM by a KVM port.
In 2014 there was some work being done by Igor Kozhukhov (CC'd) to get Illumos (Opensolaris) Xen support improved / working..
Illumos Xen 4.3 port status:

Illumos Xen dom0:

Illumos PV domU support:

Let's hope Igor can comment if he's still working on Illumos Xen stuff..
