I rearranged the config dependencies so that they mostly became Xen-specific, so that it would be reasonable to configure and run PARAVIRT all the time. The -mm differences shouldn't make a difference. There's a big conflict with Zach's lazy pte patch in msync, but 1) msync, who cares? and 2) the patch is a no-op at this point anyway. I'll try again with a fully clean build, but I'd hope that Kbuild can deal with asm-offsets dependencies... It's not like it just explodes, its more subtle than that. J
