Based on Jeremy's November presentation, that's not actually that important,
because the dom0 paravirt_ops support doesn't have a pressing need to
qualify for mainline Linux inclusion standards, while there is a practical
matter of it needing to become a qualified replacement for the old 2.6.18
kernel Xen patch. That patch has continued to be forward-ported to newer
versions and shipped with distribution kernels, which is what most users
use, but that process is becoming untenable as the kernel versions continue
to diverge.
