To quote one of our kernel developers, who was asked 'will there be support for paravirtualization with Citrix XenServer?'
No, because Xen requires the 'dom0' support, which to my knowledge exists for kernel version 2.6.18 and for kernel 2.6.26 only, whereas we use kernel 2.6.32. We already support Vmware (both Server and ESX) and VirtualBox, and there are plans to even have support for Hyper-V in the future.
While there are patches available for our kernel too, they simply don't have the necessary production quality yet. So we decide to delay Xen for a later version (maybe 8.1 or 8.2).
