Yeah, the XenDom0Kernels wiki page has gotten pretty unclear.
I guess for users, at the moment, the two 'main' kernels that
are maintained and bugfixed by xen.org are:
- pvops xen/stable-2.6.32.x
- xenlinux xcp/xenserver 2.6.32.x
I can try to clear up the wiki page if we can agree on what to write there :)
