Actually it is already possible to get things up but I have to admit that there was no good description how. So what you have to do is to take a current daily ami build

http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/hardy/current/

and boot that using --kernel with a matching pv-grub aki described here (this is about 10.04 but those work as well with the daily hardy ami's)

Having booted you can fetch the kernel package from

http://people.canonical.com/~smb/lp705562/

install it with dpkg and reboot. At the moment the kernel abi version in the ami is 29 which is the same as the test kernels. So you only need the linux-image package. If that changes then you probably need some of the other packages and have to check /boot/grub/menu.lst to have the right kernel booted.

I hope this helps to get a testing ground up. When you check cat /proc/interrupts you should see irg-level change into irq-edge with the patched kernel.
