Yes, we welcome this step forward towards a full Xen merge in LKML - it is
a critical move for Xen to be sustainable as part of Fedora. It is, however,
only a partial solution at this time, so we can't actually make any real use
of it in Fedora yet. At minimal we need architecture coverage - x86_64 in
particular. Second we need support for using a single bzImage for both bare 
metal and Xen - the initial merge still produces separate binaries for Xen.
Once those two are complete we'll be able to use the mainline kernels for the
guest. Focus is then on also merging Dom0 bits - with that we'll have a much
more sustainable solution.

Regards,
Dan.
