Yeah, it has taken pretty long :) Some important bits got into Linux 2.6.36, and more should go into 2.6.37. Slowly.. Upstream has a long-term maintained dom0-capable kernel git tree based on Linux 2.6.32, and will soon start tracking 2.6.36. Michael has been building Fedora (f12) xendom0 kernel rpms.
