You can get updates on the progress of the Xen paravirt ops work on the Fedora wiki, since
we're targetting Fedora 9:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/XenPvops

And frequent postings to the xen-devel mailing list

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-0...

Short summary,  i386, Dom0 and DomU both work on pvops + 2.6.24 and we can spawn guests.
x86_64 DomU is very close to being usable. 

Stephen publishes his GIT repo with the work
