Those kernels are currently domU (and 32 bit) only. Dom0 support for the
paravirt kernels is being worked on by the Fedora guys for F10
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=linux-2.6-dom0-pvops.git;a=summary
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvopsDom0

Actually, Ubuntu 8.04 claims to offer a 2.6.24 kernel that can run on 64-bit, dom0 and domU.. from my 64-bit machine:

nc@nc-desktop:~$ apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.24-16-xen | grep ^Desc
Description: Linux kernel image for version 2.6.24 on This kernel can be used 
for Xen dom0 and domU

I keep meaning to try it out, and then figure out where their patches came from, but haven't gotten to it yet. ;)
