dom0 support for 2.6.2x (pv_ops) kernels is being worked on currently..
it'll appear in 2.6.28 the earliest.

See: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps

dom0 support is officially available only in xensource 2.6.18 kernels, 
at the moment. 

(There are forward-ported xensource xen patches for other/newer kernels 
aswell, including dom0 support, but they tend to have less testing and 
more problems than the official xensource 2.6.18 kernels).
