The two are on separate release schedules. We will build the pv_ops kernel
by default when building Xen 4.0 from source, but there's no greater
significance than that. However, Jeremy's pv_ops tree (which of course
tracks mainline) should work well for most dom0 and domU applications.

However, I'd like to make Xen 4 a pre-req for future pvops dom0 kernels, so we can switch to the new APIC setup method. At some point after Xen 4 is officially released, I'll do the cut-over in xen.git.
