RedHat only ships PAE Xen and PAE guest kernels, so you shouldn't have an 
issue.

For a domU that'll work fine.

Are you talking about upgrading the domU's kernel to the one shipped with Xen 
3.1?  I don't really think there'd be any point in that.  In general, it'll 
work just as well to stick with the RHEL XenLinux, and then you'll be closer 
to RedHat's default configuration.

Cheers,
Mark
