Daniel, please, correct me if I'm wrong. In linux-2.6.23 merged only DomU part of
Xen, am I right? If I am, that it is really useless at this time.
Correct, only DomU was merged. It seems to be taking a while for folks
to grasp this, having seen a lot of "OMG, Xen MERGED!!! Ponies!!!!"
posts scattered about, although with posts like:

who can blame them.
Cheers
Chris
