I just tried the latest pv_ops dom0 git tree (11 Oct 2009) on x86_64 AHCI box.

The good news is that the dom0 kernel boots up, but there are some error
messages.

Using the default options (modeset) the VGA console doesn't work, it
goes blank (display says "power save") in the beginning of dom0 kernel boot:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/dmesg-2.6.31.1-2009-10-11.txt

When using "nomodeset" dom0 kernel option the VGA text console works:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/dmesg-2.6.31.1-nomodeset-2009-10-11.txt

Both of the above logs have really long errors/tracebacks about:
[ INFO: HARDIRQ-safe -> HARDIRQ-unsafe lock order detected ]

The latest Fedora 12/rawhide myoung xendom0 kernel has the same errors:
http://pasik.reaktio.net/xen/pv_ops-dom0-debug/dmesg-2.6.31.3-1.2.71.xendom0.fc12.x86_64.txt
