Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Xen 4.0.1 HVM 2008R2 Citrix PV Drivers
Do you have any info on what might be needed?  I have been searching the list 
archives and google and I cant seem to find any leads on what to look for.  Any 
points would be appreciated.  

There must not be many on the list that are using the Citrix PV drivers.

Citrix PV drivers obviously do run on XenServer and on XCP.

If you want to run them on plain Xen.org hypervisor,
you might need to set up some xenstore entries manually, 
ie. citrix pv drivers might assume some entries be present 
in xenstore that are not used by the traditional xen pv guests.

I think there has been some additions to those entries.
