You can get Xen 3.4.1 from xen.org with or without linux-2.6.18-xen.

linux-2.6.18-xen.hg is still the official dom0 kernel/tree for Xen 3.4.x
releases.

pv_ops dom0 kernels are the new default for xen-unstable development
tree, so pv_ops dom0 kernel will be the default for next upcoming Xen
release.

But you can also use pv_ops dom0 with Xen 3.4.1, if you want.
