Hey,

Do you have plans to rebase to the rhel 6.1 kernel? 

CentOS guys were also asking that they'd like to import 
the rpms to centosplus repositories.. what do you think of that?

btw. This patch should be included in the dom0 kernel rpms,
it's not yet in xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch:

And the instructions how to apply the patch:
