I have a try to patch latest stable fedora kernel with patch from stable kernel.
You can see my package here:

If you need patch and spec only, just tell me.

Comment 5 Daniel Berrangé 2008-02-12 18:45:32 UTC
No, the xen kernels follow the style of the regular kernel spec files. The EVR
are not entered manually. They are automatically computed based on the CVS
revision number. We're not going to second guess the CVS revision in changelogs


Comment 6 Jan ONDREJ 2008-02-12 19:41:21 UTC
May be for start it's enough to add version (without epoch and release). It can
be helpful to see, which changes have been made in which release.

Kernel 2.6.21-2957.fc8xen works well for me. Exploit is not usable. Thanks for
quick response.
