We're talking about Debian 2.6.26 kernel here, with a forward-ported xenlinux 
(dom0) patch from novell/suse.

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-2.6_2.6.26-15/changelog.txt

* [xen] Add SuSE Xen patch. (closes: #495895)

I only see some non-SuSE fixes after that initial Xen patch on Wed, 01 Oct 2008 
09:02:30 +0200.

So it looks like Debian 2.6.26 xen kernel is missing many bugfixes/patches
Novell/SuSE guys have done after that related to Xen support (for SLES11).

Please correct me if I'm wrong..

I think the Novell/SuSE kernels / Xen patches are here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/kernel/kotd/SLE11_BRANCH/
