No, because they don't provide a Dom0. The provide the *groundwork*
on which Xen dom0 kernel patches will be laid. The plan for Dom0 will
be to incorporate them in rawhide when they are merged in whatever LKML
dev tree lines with with rawhide at that time. Jeremy's patches have 
been flowing into LKML tree pretty quickly in recent times, so if the
patches are approved by upstream kernel devs, it shouldn't be too much
of a time-lag before they make their work into rawhide
