Looking on the xensource.com pages _the only_ kernel for Dom0 is 2.6.16.29 even
for FC5 and OpenSuse 10. Right now I would consider any other Xen Dom0 kernel as
dangerous because the changes between the Linux versions need to be carefully reviewed
by someone how understands the inner happenings of Xen.

This leads up to this situation:
- I don't see a sufficiently Xen version of a supported distro kernel in the near future, because
  it would mean some serious effort of development and testing capacity
- The "support state" of the "official" Xen kernel is unclear (at least to me) regarding
  critical bug and security fixes
