FC5 x86 guests haven't worked for a while due to the PAE change.  x86_64
should still work AFAIK.  And you can also install kernel-xen (instead
of kernel-xenU) in your FC5 guests and then things should work as well

This specific change won't affect FC5 guests at all, only guests using
the paravirt framebuffer code (which only showed up last week or so)
