If the plan to get key xen drivers into 2.6.38 succeeds
With the caveat that I don't really know what I'm looking for, I didn't see these make 2.6.38-rc1 (plenty of other Xen work, though). I saw a proposed patch for netback hit xen-devel yesterday.
So, did we miss Fedora 15?
Yep, netback most probably won't be in 2.6.38.
Upstreaming of the various dom0 bits needs to be done step-by-step, the previous "everything at once" clearly didn't work.
netback could always be added as an out-of-tree patch, or even some dkms module/rpm ?
If what is left of netback is a purely self-contained driver module which doesn't touch any central kernel/arch code, then I think you'd stand a good chance of convincing the Fedora kernel maintainers to take it as a add-on patch to the official kernels.
