Missing xenblk.so in the last kernel for SL4/x86_64

Hello,

the last version of Xen kernel for SL4/64bit:
kernel-xenU-2.6.9-89.35.1.EL.x86_64

does not have xenblk.ko module in initrd file:
/boot/initrd-2.6.9-89.35.1.ELxenU.img

- so paravirtualized xen guests do not boot (they do not find Xen block 
devices). After adding the module, lines loading the module to init 
script and rebuilding initrd everything works fine.

I do not know if this was intended, but as it seems weird for a Xen 
kernel I am reporting it as a potential bug.

Cheers,
Tomasz
