Uh, I'm thinking backwards here. It's the frontend which writes it but
the backend needs to understand it which the Etch kernel does not.

Unfortunately this means that writing the protocol node as I suggest
won't work.

Only thing I can recommend at the moment is to use a kernel which does
have this (i.e. one from
http://xenbits.xensource.com/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg) or to use a 32 bit
Etch kernel if you want to run 32 bit guests.

Ian.
