Hey Daniel,
I am no expert on this so please take it with a grain of salt.

In the 'original' code it also had : xen_type :
266 role system_r types { xen_type domain_type };
Is this change done on purpose? Reading the xen.te it describes the 'system_r' as:
"The system role is used for utility domains and pseudo-domains "
which is .. confusing. What is an utility domain? Pseudo-domain?
[Looking in the new xen.te I see that it has the same syntax]

Right here it is back again.
Is the 'default_role' neccessary then?
I've looked at the original xen.te and them splitting out to individual and there were no
missing copy-n-paste (except the above 'default_role.te' which I am not
clear about).
Thanks!
