Sorry for the question but if I understand the kernel-xen RPM is
unusable, is it?

It's not "unusable". It just provides DomU functionality so with kernel-xen
you can run a virtualized Fedora as *guest* on a Xen Dom0 which runs under
Fedora 8 oder CentOS/RHEL 5.
There's work going on to get Xen's Dom0 functionality in the main Linux
kernel. Then Xen support will re-appear in Fedora (probably even a bit
earlier). Please consult the archives if you want to learn more about that.

PS: Part of the problem is the behavior of the Xen developers which had other
priorities than keeping up with the latest Linux kernel versions/getting their
code into the vanilla kernel. Therefore they put an enormous maintenance
burden on distributors which Red Hat was not willing to do anymore.
