In Fedora land, all kernels, baremetal, Dom0 and DomU are built from a
single master source RPM. The latest errata for FC5 is
http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5.src.rpm
The 'xen' SRPM that you see is just used to build & package the corresponding
userspace bits.
Bear in mind that if you're modifying stuff make absolutely sure you use
matched versions of the kernel & userland bits. For FC5 the latest userland
SRPM for Xen is
http://download.fedora.devel.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/SRPMS/xen-3.0.2-3.FC5.src.rpm
