I believe there's no patch for kernel 2.4.x to work with Xen 3.
It would of course be possible to create such a thing, but it's a fair
amount of work checking that nothing got missed and/or something hasn't
been broken.
Of course, with new processors that support Hardware Virtualization, you
could probably support just about ANY kernel - Linux kernels should
definitely work quite well, other OS kernels may find the odd bug left
to find in the HVM support routines... ;-)
