kernels intended for 3.1 are generally useable with 3.2.

What are the limits here? Would the xen.gz 3.0.3 compiled with the dom0 kernel, such as found with Centos, work with the xen 3.2 tarball? I would assume the compatibility code would let it work, but what features would be unsupported/not functional? Thanx.
It should, it has for work I've done before. The DomU kernels are much more forward compatible with more recent Dom0 kernels than the reverse: it's not really suprising.
