 Just to take this one step further, we have now released Xen4CentOS:

Excellent. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work.

 I saw packages for libvirt but not xcp-xapi.  Do you know if there are any 
 plans to support xapi?
 

We are working on xapi as well. But that looks to be targetting a
June/early July release. The Xen stack itself is pretty much in the
final rounds of release testing.

John's been working on https://github.com/johngarbutt/xcp-devinstall

We have a weekly syncup on irc - skipping this week, back next week -
please come along and join the fun. There is plenty of threads still
needing attention.

We're using the Xen kernel + tools from here on a couple dozen servers, working 
very nicely:

Please don't top-post to public mailing lists.

Disabling selinux as a required step?  I cry absolute BS on this, yet
again.  If people can't figure out how to use selinux they have no right
pushing Xen packages to the masses.

 What are the advantages / disadvantes of Xen / KVM?

Can't say which is better, but KVM works very nicely. I use it to run
several Linux and Windows virtual machines that act as servers, but which
are not graphic intensive. (just basic desktop use)

I for one have several machines where I cannot use KVM because the 
processors do not have support for hardware virtualization. Hence using 
xen there.

The lines between Xen and KVM may become less clear in the future as the
Linux Foundation has taken up Xen [1].

As for Xen vs KVM now, I like the higher level tools built to use KVM, such
as oVirt/RHEV as well as the integration of KVM management via Libvirt with
tools like Foreman.  I've run some IO intense programs using KVM without
issue and am able to use all stock EL packages to do so.
