This would be very cool but: As far as I know the existing unmodified
drivers (sometimes called PVonHVM drivers) do not work with the
paravirt_ops kernel which will be in Squeeze.
However, there is someone upstream who is working on making the PVonHVM
functionality available directly in the upstream kernel.org tree so
that, eventually, a separate set of additional drivers will not be
required.
