That tutorial is old, and the patch referenced there might not be current 
anymore..
Please see lkml and xen-devel archives for more information about the new
Xen pv-on-hvm drivers that were merged to upstream Linux 2.6.36.

The patch to Xen was submitted together with the drivers, in August 2010 I 
think..
that blog post is from May.
