I'm afraid the 2.6.21  series of kernel-xen will be the newest
we release for F-8 and earlier - its in bugfix only mode[1]. If there
is an easy bugfix we can do for 2.6.21 to make it work that's a
possiblity but we won't be doing .22 or .23 kernel-xen. I'd recommend
filing a BZ ticket with as many details of the problem you are seeing
as possible:

[1] This is because in Fedora-9 we are radically changing the way we 
    approach Xen kernels
