With regard to the kernel, the Fedora kernel team currently expect Fedora 
15 to ship with 2.6.38, see
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2010-November/002849.html
There are some comments relating to xen in a follow-up post. See
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/kernel/2010-November/002851.html

So probably what we should do is provide a forked dom0 kernel for testing 
while F15 has 2.6.37 which should be as close as possible to what dom0 
will look like in 2.6.38, then follow 2.6.38 once that appears in F15.

With regard to xen versions, 4.1 is scheduled for mid to late Febrary, so 
we should be able to switch to that in time for F15. See
