You don't need "Xen Kernel" anymore..

The normal upstream kernel.org Linux kernel now runs as:

	- Baremetal / native hardware
	- Xen dom0 (virtualization host)
	- Xen PV domU
	- Xen HVM guest
	- Xen PVHVM guest (HVM with PV drivers)

.. when using Linux kernel 3.0 or later.

Obviously you still need to install the actual Xen hypervisor (xen.gz) and tools,
and then modify grub.conf to add Xen+dom0 entry there.
