Building portable Xen images is challenging unless you plan to run them
fully virtualized (HVM or Hardware mode). I really haven't perfected
the xen configuration yet. The main problem being that each
distribution has a slightly different Xen setup. I am working on that
today comparing Ubuntu 7.10 with Fedora 7.
Whether the xen patched kernel can be used in the fully virtuallized
guest, I don't know for sure, but I suspect the answer is yes. Hmmm, maybe.
