As I understand it the whole paravirt_ops/Dom0 is pretty much a complete 
rewrite of Xen's kernel part given the old 2.6.18 base and all the things to 
work out with paravirt_ops (even without all the 'special' features like PCI 
pass through etc).

Furthermore I guess that there is a lot of ground work to evolve the 
paravirt_ops interfaces etc so that the new port does not need to much kernel 
patching.

Given all the circumstances, two full-time developers aren't that many and 
getting something in the mainline kernel is never easy...
