[kernel-xen] kernel-xen-3.11.1-1 currently building for release.

[Steven Haigh]

Hi Joe,

It is not a requirement to use this kernel in both Dom0 and DomU. The
old DomU kernels will happily chug away as always.

The new features introduced in 3.11 will only be available if this
kernel-xen package is installed on both the DomU and Dom0.
