Was going to say - ah OK didn't understand your original question. I'm not entirely sure - I just followed directions :) However, you ask a reasonable question.

From George's original email, I had to:
- Install centos-release-xen from centos-extras
Then a yum update followed by a yum install xen. That worked for me...
i had to do something similar, but my question is - one cant run xen without the kernel, so why not have the xen package require the xen kernel as a prereq ?
IMHO, the best way to solve this would a additional line in the spec-file: "Provide: kernel-dom0" for those kernel that are provide this functionality.
Then the xen-packages could "Require: kernel-dom0" no matter which way the kernel functionality came to be.
Maybe ask even across distros for such a implemention, to get a more coherent experience for xen.
yeah, the CentOS-5 and 6 Xen stacks already do something similar - which is why I was expecting the CentOS 7 one to do that as well. Let me work this with George and see where he thinks.
