The problem is that Linux does not have all the nice features of 
(Open)Solaris, i.e. Crossbow, Comstar, and of course ZFS.  You really
really want to have your DomUs live in zvols.

However, this needs to be pointed out to Oracle.  If no customer explicitly
asks for Solaris as a supported Dom0, they will not provide it.

Nothing.  The problem is that 99% just want to use virtualisation,
not develop it.
