I needed a patch against the ref tree, not the pristine tree.  It should
come close though, I'll have a look.

No.  Fixed up dontdiff, now it works, at least as long as I do the
"prep" step only.  Offending entries:

  asm-offset.c  (which is a bug IMHO).
  asm           (probably to catch include/asm symlink, but catches
                 include/asm-{arch}/mach-xen/asm too).
  version.h     (guess for the generated include/linux/version.h,
                 but catches include/xen/interface/version.h too).

cheers,
  Gerd
