I have uploaded a set of patches which make libvirt 0.5.1 work with
RHEL-5's version of Xen. Basically we have to tweak a few version
assumptions to take account of fact that RHEL-5 Xen has a number of
feature backports like the new paravirt framebuffer and NUMA support

   http://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt-rhel5-xen/

Of course running a newer libvirt on RHEL-5 is totally unsupported but 
hopefully these will be usful to those who absolutely need this newer
libvirt and don't mind about lack of support.

Regards,
Daniel
