Upstream Linux support Xen pv_ops dom0 is a good news.

I have some question about that. When pv_ops gets into upstream kernel, we
can enable pv_ops dom0 support in kernel configure file before compiling.
Does Debian drop  kernel for Xen in the future? In generic kernel, we can
build in pv_ops support. If users want to use Xen, just install xen core and
configure GRUB, then they can run Xen Dom0.

Is this solution available?
