Yes, getting dom0 support into mainline kernel is really important. 

Maybe Jeremy can comment on the progress.. 

Current (dom0) pv_ops patch queue should be here:
http://xenbits.xen.org/paravirt_ops/patches.hg/

Also: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/linux-image-2.6.26-1-xen-686

Debian now has 2.6.26 kernel with xen dom0 support included. It's based on
xensource xenlinux 2.6.18 forward-ported patches by Novell/Suse.
