My frontend patch is relative to the Linux tree, not the Xen tree, and
not the *sparse* Linux tree within the Xen tree.

The guardians of the source tree assure me they greatly benefit from
having a sparse tree there.  Good for them[*]!  I don't.  It's a pain
in the neck for me.  By refusing to touch the sparse tree, I shift a
good part of my pain to those who enjoy the benefits.  I consider that
fair.

To try my patch, let Xen create an ordinary source tree, then patch
that.  I do test that it applies there before submitting.

If you'd rather sparsify it, perhaps a knowledgeable user of the
sparse tree can help you.

[*] No irony intended, honest, officer.
