[Pkg-xen-devel] Xen 3.1 in unstable?

[Marco Crociani - Tyrael]

Is there some news?
I need a 2.6.21 (sata problem with 2.6.18, 2.6.20) on Etch (amd64).
Also Xen 3.1 would be nice.
What have I to do and what is the best way to do it?
Take kernel source from unstable, patching it with xen, compile .deb
and install?

Thanks,
