     How did you compile these modules?  One of the issues with Xen and
modules is that Xen changes a bunch of kernel ABIs.  That means you
need to compile modules with -DXEN (which won't happen by default) to
even try loading modules.  If you don't do this, and you "successfully"
load a module, then there is a very good chance of the system going
"boom!"

     I haven't been following ZFS that closely, as currently it isn't
even close to being in production ready state, but something in the
back of my mind says it isn't possible, possibly due to licensing
issues.
