The relevant doc is:

More specifically:

Fedora 8 would need pretty much all of its Xen-related packages updated 
to be able to handle the new F10 pv_ops kernel as a domU.  I believe 
there was discussion about building such packages and leaving them in 
the testing repo for F8 (i.e. not pushing them out before EOL) but I 
don't remember what came of it.  Search the list for more details.

The short answer is pretty much use KVM instead or roll-your-own from 
upstream to get a dom0 that works with Fedora 10 as a domU.
