It's better to ask that in het kernel-mailinglist I think. I expect
there will be a 2.6.27 kernel in backports after Lenny has been
released, but without security-support.

Maybe this is interesting info for you?

Subject: [Xen-devel] Linux 2.6.27 temporary tree on xenbits

As a stop-gap measure until full dom0 support is ready in pv_ops, I've
placed a Linux 2.6.27 tree at
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.27-xen.hg

Actually this is a Novell-patched 2.6.27 kernel -- see 00-README in the
repo for more details.

The intention is to give a single source tree to develop and test
against for those developers who need a more modern 2.6 kernel for
advanced platform work such as power management. Regular test and
maintenance will continue to focus on 2.6.18, with a grand switchover
when pv_ops in kernel.org is considered sufficiently ready.
