        Xen 3.0.1 is based on 2.6.12.  I was wondering how stable/safe
this is, as many bugfixes and security fixes have gone in since then.
If someone actually wanted to run Xen in anger, is there any "safe"
version?  Given how hard it is to run a "recent" kernel, is there any
documentation of this sort of thing?
