For background info about Gentoo xen kernel, see this thread:
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2009-04/msg00004.html

Basically the patches will apply to vanilla kernel, so it should work
with any distribution.
The mint kernel you mentioned (2.6.31-14) probably don't have xen dom0 support.
