Xen as a guest support is mainline but for i386 only (useless on modern
hardware in a datacenter) with 2.6.23 being the first release of this. The
hypervisor stuff is still thoroughly intrusive and unlikely to go in any
time soon.

All the distros with Xen hosting support are providing special kernels that
have the giant patch sets applied to them.
