release.

There's also these

As far as the linux VM are concerned, Xen PV drivers are included in
the kernel since 2.6.24 I think, so your a recent VM should work fine
without installing the xs-tool.iso specific kernel. However there will
perhaps have some performance metrics missing if the tools are not
installed.

Aside from metrics and performance, need them for live migration, suspending, and a couple other things too.
