While template can ship its own bootloader and kernel (it was possible even before HVM - using PVGRUB), it is still convenient to provide kernel from dom0. At least for importing Qubes 3.x templates/standalone VMs, if for nothing else.

This can be achieved by providing some disk image to stubdomain, with a kernel, initramfs, and possibly kernel command line. In fact, we already have such disk image - for kernel modules. It's logical to reuse it also for kernel itself (have a single read-only disk image with kernel-related files).

Lets have it this way: modules.img can contain additional files, in its root directory:

  • vmlinuz - kernel image (Linux or other)
  • initramfs - initramfs
  • cmdline.txt - kernel command line

All of them are optional. If vmlinuz is absent, or modules.img not provided at all, no direct kernel boot happen (VM will boot from booloader on its root.img).
