No, it is not actually that simple.

 - Hypervisor - 3.1.2
 - Kernel - 3.0.3 + important patchs from 3.1.0 + 3.1.2
 - Userspace - 3.0.3 XenD/xm  + 3.1.0 QEMU + important patches

In particular anything which is a user visible API / command has remained
only 3.0.3 since we need to maintain stable API / CLI syntax throughout
the lifetime of RHEL-5.  This is why the packages are still called 3.0.3;
their user facing API / cli is 3.0.3 based.
