You'll find the initial checkins there. The plan is to keep sticking XenSE
stuff into the mainline until (maybe) things get sufficiently hairy that we
need to make a (temporary) fork of the sourcecode.

There will be initial code for some XenSE stuff (mandatory access control in
the hypervisor, vTPM) in the 3.0 release, although I'm not sure if it's
planned to be used in production yet.

The hypervisor has support for doing Chinese Wall or Simple Type Enforcement
(or a combination thereof). There are some userspace tools for configuring
appropriate policies (with some examples and documentation). There's also
support in the tree for a virtual TPM driver so that guests can safely access
TPM-like functionality if they wish..
The full XenSE project will take rather longer to complete since it's pretty
comprehensive in scope.
HTH,
