I'm pretty sure that you're referring to Xen *dom0*, since domU is merged into mainline and even available into lenny's unpatched kernel (i.e. the non-xen variant). Could you verify/clarify?
Also, I remember reading about an effort on merging dom0 to mailine. >From your experience, is there a chance of that happening for 2.6.32? (the version targetted for squeeze I presume?) If not, are there any plans of providing a migration path for our users like e.g. xenner?
