Are these changes in the kernel or changes to the installed Xen? I'm wondering if this effects anyone using Xen 3.4 or newer.
I think they're mixed.. you need to go through the bugzillas to figure out. (and possibly compare to the kernel changelog above).
This may be a dumb/FA question but how do you run Xen 3.4+ with the latest Centos kernel?
By using http://gitco.de/repo/ packages. They include only the new hypervisor rpms, you still use the stock centos dom0 kernel.
Are there centos/redhat kernels rebuilt with newer Xen or do you have to do this yourself?
No need to re-build the kernel.
I see source for kernel 2.6.18 with Xen 3.4 here:
http://www.xen.org/products/xen_source.html
but that kernel does not have all the fixes that have gone into the RH/Centos 2.6.18 kernel.
Yes, http://xenbits.xen.org/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg does have all the latest xen features and fixes, but it doesn't have driver/security fixes like rhel/centos kernel has.
