I am running Xen 3.2.1 with Kernel 2.6.21 on Gentoo, the kernel is derived from redhat, there are ebuilds in portage for Xen 3.3 but I dont know if the kernel patch is updated for Xen 3.3 or not? Has the patched kernel changed between 3.2.1 and 3.3? or are the changes purely in the xen userspace applications? I have read reports from other users who have upgraded Xen to 3.3, they dont specifically mention upgrading or repatching/recompiling the kernel...
