I can help him to do this (I am an fedora packager), but there is no
functional 2.6.29+ kernel for dom0. Also M.A.Young's rpm can't be compiled
on my i686 machine (aha1542 driver should me disabled, before it will be
fixed).

I am planning to support Fedora 10 kernel in my repository, but I can't make
progress with current kernels (tryed to recompile CentOS kernel,
kernel-2.6.27+xen (by suse) and 2.6.29 from mercurial without any success.

Right.

There is no new patches for dom0 in 2.6.29, because Jeremy is moving code
from mercurial to git, but it in the middle of this work.
I am trying to daily update from mercurial and seeing also git status, but
no change in mercurial aprox. 5 days ago ang git does not contain dom0.
