Have you read the "Xen User Manual"?

In Sid, there are three packages which look interesting, 'kernel-patch-xen',
'xen' and 'xen-docs'.

Yes.

1)  Read the documentation from the U Cambridge web stie.
2)  Search Google.
3a) Subscribe to the Xen user's mailing list; or
3b) Go to gmane.org, read the instructions for accessing their NNTP server,
    and then subscribe to gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user.
4)  Experiment.
5)  Report your methods and results here so the rest of us may be
    illuminated.
