Sorry, dont know any details of the official status, but my experience
with this kernel is, that devpts is not working, and the bridge dont
work when I use it for dom0. Because of the missing devpts I stoped
searching for the failed bridge, too.

After "make menuconfig && make" I had a vmlinuz file in the root of the
kernel-src-directory that I can boot.
