the reason seems quite evident.
to be able to have any debian kernel as xen guest.
it is a frequent feature request we received.

because paravirt upstream support is currently only x86_32
once ported to amd64 it will enabled there too.
but haven't yet landed for 2.6.26, so still..
<snipp long text about random_closed_source module>
please bug your vendor for those.
ati is already mostly supported by the free radeon driver,
use latest of it.
anyway nvidia hasn't released any official driver for 2.6.25 afaik.
