See this wiki page for dom0 kernel options:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels
xen.org linux-2.6.18-xen has some driver backports to make it compatible with
newer hardware, but you really have to try to see if it works or not.
pv_ops dom0 (currently 2.6.31.6) is the new default dom0 kernel in
upcoming Xen 4.0 (currently at 4.0.0-rc2), so you might want to try that too.
