Yep. The latest kernels all have the "paravirt ops" support (if I'm
remembering my jargon correctly). The original Xen patches were
based on 2.6.18 and worked pretty well in 2.6.18 itself. The
kernels between 2.6.18 and today are where the situation is iffy
with various levels of stability in the xen patches wedged into
kernels after 2.6.18.
