well, hmm.

let's suppose we have Xen working so we have virtual machines. (I'm up to
the boot prompt ... just need to get the network driver going).

You could build an audio server OS, and a bluetooth server OS, etc. and
then connect them as servers. So no drivers in that sense.

modload? no modload. When a new device is added, you fire up an OS to run
it. Plan 9 has the ideal protocol to support this.

Xen muxing of an OS is as efficient (almost) as OS muxing of processes.
It's not vmware.

Could be interesting ...
