I've diffed the xen tree against what's on the branch and there's little
difference. It appears to be something along the lines of "some sys/*.h header
used to include XXX and doesn't anymore and xen was implicitly depending
on it". I tried tracking it down one night but couldn't figure out where it
was losing. I may try again later this week.
