First blush (no domUs yet)
- dom0 boots with >2GB RAM
- dom0 boots with encrypted root partition.
- CPU frequency scaling /doesn't/ work (Intel Core2Duo P9400)
- There seems to be a UI lag somewhere. Windows and key-presses seem to
occasionally "stall" (<1 sec at worst). Not serious, and possibly my
imagination.

All in all, this is the first 2.6.37+ dom0 that even booted using the
xen hypervisor. That makes it, for me, a huge improvement. :D I'll try
provisioning a couple domUs for further testing.

Thanks for the hard work, it really is appreciated!
