It uses the the qemu device emulation code, which is security wise one large catastrophe. Okay, Xen uses it also for full virtualized guests, which is the reason why I currently discurage anyone from using it.

Xen started long time ago and they drag a huge patch through the last years without the perspective to get anything in without much rework. > Hopefully Jeremy Fitzhardinge (from Xensource) and others can get the > important Xen kernel features ported to pv_ops framework and integrated > into vanilla linus kernels soon..
