It would very likely be easier to forward port, or otherwise fix 
whatever issues are preventing you from running a recent kernel than it 
would be to back port xen to something so old. Also, should you really 
be comfortable running a kernel that has many known bugs and security 
vulnerabilities that have been fixed in the last 14 months?
