I'm curious --- is there a good reason why Xen users are using an
upstream 2.6.32 kernel?  If they are using a distro kernel, fine, but
then the distro kernel should be providing the support.  But at this
point, 2.6.32 is so positively *ancient* that, I'm personally not
interesting in providing free, unpaid distro support for users who
aren't willing to either (a) pay $$$ and get a supported distro
kernel, or (b) use a much more modern kernel.  At this point, Guest
and Host Xen support is available in 3.0 kernels, so there's really no
excuse, right?
