What kind of thing did you have in mind for XSM?

In general it seems like allowing a vcpu to switch into an XSM label
(not sure I've got the terminology right here) when it context
switches into a particular process might be the most flexible way for
that to work.

But would that actually be easier than implementing stub domains?
