Hi, we use Ubuntu as Dom0 and like this solution. But we need some
information if there would be solutions in the near future.

Ubuntu 16.04 use xen-hypervisor 4.6. So PVH, PVH shim or HVM shim can not be 
used. 
For 4.6 exists a mitigation "Xen PTI" (see 
http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/xsa254/README.pti). 
Will xen-hypervisor 4.6 be updated? 

Will xen-hypervisor 4.9 (Ubuntu Bionic) get the patches for PVH, PVH
shim or HVM shim?

PVH seems the best solution. Will this supported by Ubuntu Bionic?

See http://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-254.html

Best regards
