I see new branch (xen/stable) in pv_ops based on 2.6.32.9, is good? for test

I also see update in this page, for use config example for xen/stable i must
use "64bit x86_64 (xen/next 2.6.32)"?
Why is add CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_FRONTEND=y in page but there isn't in example
config?

xen/stable is still a work in progress, but it should be suitable for general use. It is based on xen/next (which is 2.6.32 based), but it also has the 2.6.32.x stable kernels merged into it.

At the moment it is missing a few features compared to xen/master; in particular it is missing PCI passthrough and ACPI power management.

This will become a long-term supported Xen kernel (as 2.6.32 is going to be a long-term supported Linux release). There will also be a development tree which tracks ongoing Linux development.
