Any reason not to be using our -xen kernel config? It has ACPI and sems

I personally don't use it because maintaining versioned initrds is a pain. I have a heavily customized initrd (my Dom0 is a Gentoo image booting off root-on-LVM), and keeping it as just one image is much easier than having a separate image (with different modules copied in) for every Xen kernel variant I test.
