We haven't tried RedHat's drivers on our dom0 (or by extension, xVM Server), and we haven't heard any reports of others trying. Theoretically, if the drivers are supposed to work on a xen 3.1 hypervisor, they should work on our 3.1 dom0. In practice, things rarely work so smoothly because the hypervisor interface is not as stable as it should be.
We have developed our own Windows PV drivers and we will be releasing these soon. We are actively working on the legalities of making them available for download. They're in use already internally here and they work great. They'll be worth the wait.
