Hello everyone,
I'm taking a quick look at the xen internals, and it looks as though
xen
creates a layer that runs directly on the hardware, and this layer is
basically a stripped down and modified linux i386.
This would mean any fixes for linux and new hardware support need to be
explicitly ported to xen. Are there plans to instead have a xen
enabling patch for the linux kernel? This should make it much easier
to
maintain xen over time.

It's relevant to say that Xen re-uses some Linux kernel source codes,
and chooses a similar directory structure, Xen authors gain much
knowledge and inspiration from Linux kernel.
The similarity ends here.
If you tried to make a patch between Linux kernel and Xen, I'm afraid
you would end up with patch that deletes most files in Linux kernel
and introduces most new codes in Xen.
A patch is relevant between conventional Linux kernel and XenoLinux
kernel.
