Download, configure and compile. Some pre-built kernels are available in
many distros.

3.0 is a pretty old one, you should use 3.4.
You download the code, load some dependencies, compile and install.
For me (debian) the minimal dependencies are :
linssl-dev
zlib-dev
bin86
bcc
elks-libc
python2.5-dev
python-xml
Many distros have pre-built Xen packages.

 
Assuming I have all the dependencies installed , how do I generate xen-3.4.gz ??
is this the bzImage renamed to xen-3.4.gz ??

You will have to install a whole system in your Virtual Machines, most
kernels are working very well under the Xen hypervisor, you can even
create Windows virtual machines.
