hi,

is it possible for a domain != 0 to ask for its own destruction?

Jacob

Not yet. We'll soon have shared comms rings between each guest and domain-0, which can then be used to "proxy" such requests to the existing DOM0 control interface.

Whoops. Actually a domain can request destruction -- that's what the HYPERVISOR_exit() hypercall is for! It's the preferred way to terminate a domain because it allows the guest OS to clean up first.
