Which is scheduled for extermination with extreme prejudice. It has been
a support disaster of unimaginable magnitude.  We tried to kill it for F9
but couldn't get the paravirt_ops patches far enough along to merge them
back into the main kernel RPM. Come F10 though it will either be merged in
main kernel RPM, or Xen will have to say goodbye.
