I have been using Michael Young's Xen Dom0 kernels. With kernel 2.6.34 in Rawhide, what is keeping Xen 4.0 and a DomU kernel from being pushed to Rawhide? My understanding was that kernel 2.6.33 would provide the pvops features required to make a Dom0 kernel palatable to Fedora. Did this feature not make this release?
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0 has not been updated in a while, but I suspect that a Xen Dom0 kernel will not be in Fedora 13.

Linux 2.6.33 doesn't yet have the pvops dom0 bits.

I'll update the wiki page.

I don't think it did, and it has probably missed the 2.6.34 merge window as well, though I think pvops is getting closer to the form that might be accepted into the main kernel.

Would anyone venture to guess when Dom0 support will make it upstream? I've looked on LKML and various xensource.com pages. I know getting things upstream can be difficult to predict, but was wondering if anyone had any insight beyond what we discussed a few months ago.
Hi Mike,
This is the most recent thread that I remember on the topic: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-06/msg00377.html
You should be able to reply to that thread and ask about status. Jeremy usually has the best sense of it.
