IMHO there is no upstream support for kernels newer than 2.6.18. The
last "official" opinion I heard was that either Xen gets integrated into
the Linux kernel or support for Xen will be dropped from Debian, since
there are now other free alternatives that are fully supported on recent
kernels.
Support for domU is already merged into 2.6.23, but dom0 is not yet
and I've heard no plans about when it will be.

Based on the output those patches do not contain Xen. I don't know what
they are for.
