Well, it's a kernel patch, so yes -- obviously!

You seem to be rather unfamiliar with kernels and patching etc. I would
highly recommend that you consume a suitable kernel direct from your
distro rather than try to path/build it yourself unless you have some
pressing need to do so. You don't say which distro you are using but
many of the popular ones have a Xen dom0 kernel available these days,
including ones newer than 3.0 which have this patch already applied.

Ian.
