I would note, however, that it's just the domU(?), meaning you can build Linux as a guest kernel. The dom0 stuff, however, which is required to build a hypervisor, is *not* in mainline. Your link states that in a comment, but I wanted to explicitly point it out. To quote kernelnewbies: "Xen Part of Xen has been merged. The support included in 2.6.23 will allow the kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the Xen hypervisor. But support for the hypervisor is not included - this is only guest support, no dom0, no suspend/resume, no ballooning. It's based in the paravirt_ops infrastructure." I don't want anybody disappointed from the realization when they get to the kernel configuration with 2.6.23 ;).
