I'm looking at compiling a custom 2.6.12.6 linux kernel patched for
xen 3.0. I am slightly confused by the different default config files
in arch/xen/configs.  It seems that I would base my dom0 kernel on the
xen0_defconfig_x86_32 file and my domU kernels on
xenU_defconfig_x86_32 file. What purpose does the xen_defconfig_x86_32
config file serve? What are the use cases?

That config is for the xen-kernel (please correct me if i am wrong). It has more drivers packed in it and the same kernel can be used for both dom0 and domU. It does take more time to compile it, however its mostly recommended since it packs in support for more hardware.
