That would be an outrageous good thing for all the people like us that
are using Xen in production!

I wouldn't bet on this. I'm monitoring the Git of the kernel, and I see
no patch about Xen going in... The arch/xen folder is still on there.
Last time I heard about it, it was said to be in for the kernel 2.6.28,
but that will NOT be the case. As kernels are released each 3 months
approx, that means that we are going to way AT LEAST another 4 months.
This is really a looooooooooong time to wait for, and in the mean while,
we still have to buy older hardware that supports the old kernels (and
that eventually wont have VT-d support).
