They are usable as far as I know. They are built from 
http://www.xenproject.org/developers/teams/windows-pv-drivers.html 
Aka the Windowa PV Drivers on Xen Project are the upstream of the XenServer 
drivers

There is now also a Xen Project signed version of the drivers via 
http://www.xenproject.org/downloads/windows-pv-drivers/winpv-drivers-81.html 

http://www.xenproject.org/downloads/windows-pv-drivers is where drivers (and 
security updates) will be published in future, and I added a link to the 
downloads from http://www.xenproject.org/developers/teams/hypervisor.html under 
"WINDOWS PV DRIVERS DOWNLOADS"
