I also haven't gone for Xen yet because of this feature missing.  I'd
like to run Xen on a SMP machine where I have a file/mail/news server
in dom0 and a router/firewall in domU, i.e. dom0 should have access to
most PCI hardware like harddisk controllers, and the router to the PCI
network card.  However, Xen 2.0.x doesn't support SMP in a way that
makes sense in this case, and Xen 3.0 doesn't support accessing PCI
devices directly from domU :-(
