It's not really that modules cannot work, -but that modules must be built for XEN3_DOM0 because some of the -defines change and the normal module builds don't do this. Basically, -enabling Xen changes the kernel ABI, and the module build system -doesn't cope with this. +One is that the module ABI is different because some of the #ddefines +change, so one must build modules for Xen. As of netbsd-7, the build +system does this automatically. TODO: check this. (Before building +Xen modules was added, it was awkward to use modules to the point +where it was considered that it did not work.) The other difference is that XEN3_DOM0 does not have exactly the same options as GENERIC. While it is debatable whether or not this is a
