Does Squeeze's linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 already includes Xen PV
support? I believed it was included since v3.0.
I'm quite sure it's the same stock kernel image, I has the same MD5
hash as a regular Debian 6.0 64-bit installation I have around.


Upstream Linux has had Xen domU support since 2.6.24.
So yes, Linux 2.6.32 default kernel has pvops Xen PV support.
I feel like need to go back to school... Have always been using *-xen kernels, even in DomU's.

The closest references I found about Xen DomU support in Linux kernel are
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Kernel_Feature_Matrix and
http://blogs.citrix.com/2007/07/19/xen-paravirt_ops-goes-into-linuss-tree/

Thank you.
