Thank you very much, I'm trying to build it now.

There are essentially two "mainstream" kernel branches - that which xen.org <http://xen.org> maintains based on 2.6.18-8, and the mainline 2.4.24+ which is the regular linux kernel. Because Xen patches were so cumbersome to maintain (and because there were all kinds of other variants of 2.6.18+ in various Linux distributions), RedHat spearheaded a development effort to incorporate the Xen patches into the mainline kernel. As you found out, those patches (called "pvops" or "paravirt ops") are only incorporated for the domU. With just a small bit of googling, I found this in relation to dom0 patches:

http://www.nabble.com/Updated-dom0-pvops-for-2.6.24-available-on-git-td15091656.html

It looks like no dev has taken place since February - not surprising. RH developers were trying to get Fedora 9 out the door so they abandoned the notion of dom0 support for FC9. The last report I read was that they're shooting for dom0 stability in FC10 and hopefully mainline incorporation by then or soon thereafter (someone jump in and correct me if I've messed anything up). HTH.
