In domU, I tried to compile the newest 2.6.31.6 kernel.
It can not boot. I configured the domU to be 4 vcpu, but shortly after creation the domU was shrinked to 1 vcpu and the cpu seemed to be 100% busy from xm top.

can not ping or xm console to the domU.

well, that's pretty much how it is :D

short recap of what I found so far of various kernel when used as PV domU:
kernel 2.6.18:
- can change memory/CPU on the fly, with the correct domU config
- can live migrate

suse's kernel-xen (I use 2.6.29):
- can change memory/CPU on the fly
- can't migrate (to be exact: "xm save" part failed)

pv_ops (including Fedora and Ubuntu's kernel):
- can't change memory/CPU on the fly (you can shrink, but you can't grow)
- can't migrate
