Now a number of these modules have been compiled into the supplied 
kernel. Look at
/boot/config-2.6.11.12-xen0
from the xen-2.0.7 install as see which modules have either been 
compiled in, or have actually been disabled.
Normally RH & Suse supply all of these as modules, but the vanilla Xen 
Dom0 kernels have them compiled in.
Hope this helps..
