Interesting thread on merging Xen dom0 support into the kernel:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/800658/focus=800714
Obviously I'm biased toward moving Xen completely in-kernel -- it's ridiculous to rely on out-of-kernel patches that haven't been updated to work with newer kernels -- but I don't have the deep familiarity needed to give reasons why this is bad off the top of my head. Jeremy Fitzhardinge does, and it's quite enlightening.
