I was seriously looking at trying Xen out recently, but it seems that
the latest Xen enabled kernel is 2.6.12, and I couldn't find anywhere on
their with a set of Xen patches for newer kernels. As I'm using hardware
for which there's no driver in 2.2.12, that's a bit of a pain... Are
there any newer Xen kernels anywhere, or patchsets?
