Linus has released kernel-2.6.37-rc1. I read the changelog. Some Xen pvops patch has merged into upstream kernel. Waiting Debian to push 2.6.37-rc1 to experimental and test it for Xen.

The kernel team does not intend to retain the Xen featureset after
squeeze (this was announced after our meeting last year). We do expect
that full Xen functionality (dom0 and domU) will be merged upstream in
time for wheezy and we have included some of the post-2.6.32
enhancements for domU in the default kernel images for squeeze.

That's the plan.
