if with 'on top of' you mean as a domU kernel, then
you do not need anything special, as Xen domU support
is already included in recent kernels

I don't see a problem either ...

those are usually for the dom0, but it is possible
to combine those with Linux-VServer as well, but
in that case, I'd suggest to investigate kvm and
probably use that as it is much easier to administrate,
a lot more powerfull than Xen and readily available
in recent kernels as well
