Link referenced by you contains rebased patch set done by Andy Lyon
using an original forward porting xen patches for 2.6.31.8-xen ( on openSUSE 11.2) per Jan Beulich. Suse's src.rpm is a source to perform
Andy's patches. PVops kernels based on git branches developed by Jeremy, Konrad,Xia Zang, Yu Ke,.. may be loaded as vanilla kernel and under Xen
Hypervisor as well. It's different way of mind. Coming soon Xen 4.0 official
release (04/05/10) would have PVops kernel based on Jeremy Fitzhardinge Git Repo. I would guess 2.6.32.10. It seems running stable.

Boris.

No idea. But those patches are pursuing an entirely different method of
getting Linux to work in privileged state (Dom0). The current
development is with the pv-ops one:
