Xen is a virtual machine monitor which supports running multiple
guests operating systems on a single machine. Guest OSes (also called "domains")
require a modified kernel which supports Xen hypercalls in replacement
to access to the physical hardware. At boot, the xen kernel is loaded
along with the guest kernel for the first domain (called domain0).
domain0 has privileges to access the physical hardware (PCI
and ISA devices), administrate other domains and provide virtual
devices (disks and network) to other domains.
This package contains the Xen4 kernel itself.
