Hello,

I was reading the earlier discussion from here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.kernel/browse_thread/thread/e2338dd1590b3375/686d088bb32341c6?lnk=raot&pli=1

.. and wanted to contribute a bit.

This wiki page lists the available Xen dom0 kernels/patches:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels

Summary:

        - Xen 3.4.x releases still use the old Xenlinux 2.6.18 as a
          default dom0 kernel.

        - Xen 3.5 (xen-unstable/development) changed to using the pv_ops dom0 
kernel
          as a default. This is the new cleaned up code that they're working on 
to 
          get merged into upstream Linux kernel.

        - Novell/Suse has made many forward-ports of the 2.6.18 code to
          2.6.26, 2.6.27, 2.6.29 and 2.6.30.

        - SLES11 (Suse Linux Enterprise) Xen uses the forward-port to 2.6.27.
        - Opensuse uses the various other forward-ports.

So Debian could use the Opensuse patches, assuming the kernel versions
match..

Debian seems to be pretty popular environment to run Xen on, so it would
be a shame if Xen dom0 support was dropped from Squeeze.
