Not particularly soon. Xen is an ugly, ugly, UGLY beast. Everything has to 
forward-ported from 2.6.18 right now. Fun story. We had to forward-port 
everything from 2.6.16 for RHEL5, then, just as 2.6.19 or .20 was out, the 
xen guys rebased to 2.6.18... So yeah, we've got guys working on it, but 
it'll be a while.

Its actually been on in our base config for some time, but I believe 
config_nonint silently ignores any CONFIG_* options that are missing from a 
new kernel, it only asks about new ones, so we never noticed its 
disappearance.

Woo! I'll get a new pungi-based spin together tonight rebased on 2.6.20 and 
w/the video4linux bits chopped out... Speaking of which, I should probably 
make some sort of formal announcement about work I'm doing w/Dennis now... :D

Ah yes, forgot about that. In that case, I'm reasonably sure we're carrying 
that fix.
