I've posted a correction in the forementioned Tech Help Forums which

User should select the DomU kernel based on first determining what

I'll admit I'm completely lost trying to follow what you're trying to
solve. Or even if your comments, in this thread I started, are for me.
So getting back to my original point, with particular respect to Linode,
all Linodes are PV guests.
You need a pv-ready kernel to launch the guest.
Your options there are
(1) launch the guest using one of Linode's provided kernels. They're
all pv-ready.
(2) launch the guest using pvgrub, booting to the guest's pvops
'default' kernel
(3) launch the guest using pvgrub, booting to the guest's non-pvops,
'xenified' kernel
For Opensuse 13.2 guests, (1) & (3) are possible from the distro. There
is currently no (2) from pkgs -- you'd have to build your own kernel for
that. For now.
For (1) all versions of Linode's kernels up to and including 3.19.1 work
great.
For (2) Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Ubuntu (so far) all work (by that I just
mean that they boot annd networking works) with latest kernels I can
find.
For (3) versions of Opensuse's kernels <= 3.18.x work. 3.19.x is broken
right now, looks like for at least networking.
