Once dom0 is running, the policy can be reloaded using "xl loadpolicy".
The example policy included with Xen demonstrates most of the features of FLASK

+that can be used without dom0 disaggregation. The main types for domUs are:
- domU_t is a domain that can communicate with any other domU_t
- isolated_domU_t can only communicate with dom0
+ - prot_domU_t is a domain type whose creation can be disabled with a boolean
One disadvantage of using type enforcement to enforce isolation is that a new
type is needed for each group of domains. In addition, it is not possible to
