Remember both XenServer and XCP have their "product patch queues"
which add a lot of patches on top of the xen.org releases.

For example XCP 1.1 (which is similar to XenServer 5.6 SP2):
xen-3.4.pq.hq - patch queue against tag RELEASE-3.4.2 in xen-3.4-testing.hg: 
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/XCP/1.1/xen-3.4.pq.hg/

and:
qemu-xen-3.4.pq.hg - patch queue against c/s 284d056851f7 of 
qemu-xen-unstable.hg:
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/XCP/1.1/qemu-xen-3.4.pq.hg/

and:
dom0 kernel:
http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/XCP/1.1/linux-2.6.32.pq.hg/


XenServer 6.0 and XCP 1.5 are based on Xen 4.1.x,
but still using Xenlinux 2.6.32 dom0 kernel.

XenServer and XCP are using *Xenlinux* kernel, not pvops.
It's based on Novell/SUSE SLES11SP1 2.6.32 Xenlinux patches.

That would be nice to have!
