What about the possibility of reving the kernel to something more modern?
For instance, the nforce5 drivers for Linux didn't make it until 2.6.17, and
didn't get truly stable until 2.6.18.
I think it would be advantageous if xen-unstable was using a kernel closer
to those being shipped in modern distros, so that xen-unstable testing was
more applicable to current distros, and visa versa.
