The pv_ops patchqueue from Jeremy will be the future maintained kernel for Xen, but although it's inching ever closer I think it's not really quite there yet still. Limited manpower is slowing down that effort. With 2.6.18, the 'XenSource' product kernel has loads of drivers backported onto it. I'll look into getting that better published or perhaps a snapshot taken. Obviously it's distributed with Citrix products and freely redistributable, but it's not currently on xenbits. -- Keir
