On the other hand, there's strong interest in having unified virtual drivers. Given that the Xen drivers are out there, have been submitted and have been reasonably optimized, there will be some resistance to putting in "yet another" set of PV drivers. Also, the contentious merge point as I understand it is xenbus needing review, rather than the drivers themselves which are in pretty good shape.
