@Torsten, the upgrade path does not support to skip a LTS so Hardy to
Precise will not be officially supported. Also, backporting a kernel
"only" to ease the upgrade path isn't likely to happen considering the
effort required.
I don't have a Hardy dom0 so I cannot test but if I had to perform such
an upgrade, I'd do this (on a test machine first ;) :
1) manually install the Precise kernel (using the .deb directly)
2) reboot to see if dom0 and domUs are all working as normal
3) upgrade the host's userspace from Hardy to Lucid
4) reboot to see if dom0 and domUs are all working as normal
5) upgrade the host's userspace from Lucid to Precise
6) reboot to see if dom0 and domUs are all working as normal
