I'm use sles 11 sp1 on dom0 and try to use under centos 5.5 kernel from
http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem/dist/files/oel5u5/kernel-xen-2.6.18-194.3.1.0.2.el5.tmem.x86_64.rpm
but after boot and activating swap file it tryes to limit memory as
small as possible. And ooom-killer kills all daemons..

Ok. This mean if i want to use debian, centos - i need to backport all
features from which versions of patch? 
Latest i saw is
