As I understand it, it's pv_ops dom0 support backported to Debians
2.6.32 kernel. It intends to replace the old 2.6.26 from lenny which
uses forward ports of the Xen patches against 2.6.18.

Sorry typo in my first mail. The version I'm using is 3.4.2 (from
Debian testing, extended with one of the patches from 3.4.3 to make it
work with Grub2 on i386).

Using 3.4.3-rc (http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-3.4-testing.hg)
vanilla the system boots.

Seems to me that the Debian kernel I'm trying requires the IOAPC stuff
(and thus hypervisor >=3.4.3) that is mentioned on XenParavirtOps in
the wiki. Sadly package dependencies on the kernel were not set up to
require the hypervisor from unstable (which would have been 3.4.3-rc3).
