I believe , backport ZFS support  to Xen 3.3.1. on Fedora's is done.

Everything has been done from scratch and seems to be working. ZFS support patches added to src.rpm and installed, libvirt packages installed . Xen 3.3.1 F10 Dom0 ( 2.6.30-rc3-tip) does have ZFS support and virt-install ( virt-manager) connects to xend and may be used for DomUs management.

Yes , i was able to add ZFS support and manage OpenSolaris DomUs.
I was still able to manage Linux DomUs , using two pygrub profiles :-
first one to install DomU , second one to load and run. Same way as in case of
building Xen Unstable Dom0 with pvops kernel on Ubuntu 8.10 server.
But, reinstalled libvirt,libvirt-python,python-virtinst,virt-manager and virt-viewer
i was unable to reconnect to xend via both tools..
In meantime I am not sure was it an accident or it was supposed to happen.
In second case direct port Xen Unstable to F10 ( without libvirt, there is xen-lib package dependency what prevents proper porting ) is obviously a preferable solution.

I believe that , xen-backport-hg18782.patch from ./rpmbuild/SOURCES is
exactly raw content of change set 18782 from xen-unstable.hg
I am not sure would be adding
xen-backport-hg19322.patch (libfsimage: Support for zfs version 14.)
xen-backport-hg19323.patch (pygrub: Workaround for Solaris CR 1143256)
sufficient to to get properly ZFS support and pygrub backported  to Xen 3.3.1 for Fedora.
I may be missing some more cs's to complete the task.
Please, advise.

Boris.
