I never said or assumed anything would be supported. I'm just looking
for an old kernel that is missing a link.

I thought that Xen versions might be backwards compatible here.

Again, not looking for supported, HVM is another option which I've tried
in the past and hasn't worked too well for me, but I may try that again
