My question is about code location/structure of the hypervisor and Solaris dom0.

As far as I understand, the source for the xen hypervisor is distributed in the 
file xvm-src.tar.bz2 at the download directory for the corresponding build, 
such as http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b79/ for Build 79. The source for 
Solaris dom0, the paravirtualized kernel, is in on-src.tar.bz2 in the same 
directory. 

When I unzip xvm-src.tar.bz2, I see the following directories:

libvirt.hg
sunos.hg
urlgrabber.hg
virtinst.hg
xen.hg

xen.hg is the hypervisor source and it appears that this is all you need if you 
want to build your own version of the hypervisor (I tried that). Then what is 
sunos.hg? Do you need to build this directory, and if so, what will it produce?
