It isn't in CVS yet.

It probably needs to be reviewed first. I also want to find out why I
don't get console output while booting.

The syntax is as described here:

<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-amd64/2008/05/19/msg000282.html>

apart from changing "modules enable" to "modules enabled".

One thing that may be missing is the capability to load multiple
modules and get the dom0 to use them. I haven't tested whether Xen
will locate which one is the dom0.
