I doubt anyone is running pv_ops dom0 in serious production uses yet. So I'm
not sure backporting this sort of stuff to our very stable branch is really
necessary. Anyone running pv_ops dom0 is likely not scared of Xen 4.0.

Yes I heard this was the case as well, but it only applys to the xen hypervisor and tools packages. You could compile 3.4.3 yourself and use squeeze with 2.6.32-4-xen-amd64 kernel.

This should get you HVM functionality.
