Yes that is true, quoting from
http://www.nabble.com/vanilla-kernel-and-xen-(in-general),-vanilla-2.6.24-and-xen-td15155102.html

"RedHat is leading an effort to put Dom0 support in the Linux kernel
using paravirt ops (pvops)

see this recent post to the devel list:
http://www.nabble.com/Updated-dom0-pvops-for-2.6.24-available-on-git-td15091656.html
"
