I'm not sure what 'genapic' support is, but if you mean porting things 
like mach-es7000 across to Xen, then yes: I think we are now ready for 
that.
Longer term I'd like to make switching between the different mach types 
a run-time rather than compile-time decision. But that will require a 
fair bit of modification to the standard Linux way of doing things -- 
for initial 3.0 I think we'll stick to compile-time switches for 
selecting esoteric platform configurations.
