As soon as the stock rawhide kernel makes its first move to 2.6.27, I plan to build a new kernel-xen based on that. What we're discussing currently, though, is whether at that point we should immediately progress with the plan of merging kernel-xen back into the stock kernel so that you boot the same pv_ops enabled kernel for Xen DomU and bare-metal. If it looks like the Dom0 work is making progress, we might hold off on doing that until Dom0 is upstream. Personally, I can't see Dom0 being in shape for F10 and so we should proceed with completing the DomU work.
