Which commits in particular? Have you raised your concerns upstream?

There are a few commits in the referenced branch which are tagged as
needing to be revisited before going upstream, they are generally of the
form
	-	do_thing(ADDR);
	+	if (xen_domain())
	+		do_thing(translate(ADDR));
	+	else
	+		do_thing(ADDR)

(or something equivalent). While these are clearly not suitable for
upstream they are correct as far as they go. Excluding them from the xen
flavour of the kernel seems a bit extreme.

It would be a terrible shame if Squeeze did not have support for the
modern graphics subsystem when running Xen.
