No, we don't have any separate backports repository, so hosting it on
xen.org
would be the best bet.
I think it would be worth talking to the rpmforge folk; they may find a
space for you and I think that would be more visible.
I think they also have rpms for other distros, and I suppose that might
be of interest.
If you think RHEL (and its clone) users might be interested, CentOS has
an area for RHEL-compatible packages. Some CentOS users might be more
adventurous than RHEL users; they don't have support arrangements to break.
