I would note, however, that it's just the domU(?), meaning you can build
Linux as a guest kernel. The dom0 stuff, however, which is required to
build a hypervisor, is *not* in mainline. Your link states that in a
comment, but I wanted to explicitly point it out.
To quote kernelnewbies:
"Xen
Part of Xen has been merged. The support included in 2.6.23 will allow
the kernel to boot in a paravirtualized environment under the Xen
hypervisor. But support for the hypervisor is not included - this is
only guest support, no dom0, no suspend/resume, no ballooning. It's
based in the paravirt_ops infrastructure."
I don't want anybody disappointed from the realization when they get to
the kernel configuration with 2.6.23 ;).
