I don't think any of the Linux distros include PV drivers for a
_windows_ guest OS.  The PV drivers for a Linux guest OS are included
in part of the open-source Xen codebase, and so are natrually part of
the Linux distros' branches of xenified Linux.  There are also PV
drivers for HVM linux in the open-source Xen codebase.

I guess it's pretty much true that nobody uses _windows_ PV drivers
with OpenSource Xen, at least until recently when they have started to
be developed by folks like James :)
