No, but I hope to see it in Debian soon (and hope we get it in
Squeeze).

As well as 2.6.32 which will be very likely the kernel of Debian
Squeeze and is AFAIK the kernel of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

I have some slight hope that Xen 4.0 will change that again, at least
the "The H" as well as the corresponding "Heise" article sound so.
(And I'm an optimist. ;-) At least they're way closer in what the
Kernel maintainers want than they were ever before.

If anyone plays around with it before I do and notices any 4.0 related
problems in the xen-tools version at http://noone.org/hg/xen-tools/,
please let me know.
