Sure, you'll domU kernel may need an initrd (depends on the filesystem)
and will need modules installed in the guest filesystem.  It won't be
any larger than a -xenU kernel. The fact that it has privileged and
back-end modules built for it doesn't matter -- it can't actually use
any of them as Xen won't allow it.
