Yes, assuming the patches are not dropped again from Linus's tree before
2.6.23 is released. But that is unlikely. They've had lots of testing and
review.

The scope of the patches is domU guest support. Vanilla linux 2.6.23 will
not support running as dom0 (Jeremy is working on this for a future Linux
release). Nor does it contain the hypervisor code itself -- you have to
obtain the Xen hypervisor separately from the kernel sources.
