Yes, thats where I take the 2.6.32 kernel patches from, .31 from
openSUSE-11.2 and .32 from SLE11-SP1, but they both fail to compile in
similar ways, I followed a similar process to
http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=653 :

 pwd

cd unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/

Linux tree: /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-xen
/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-xen/include/xen/interface:
interface: File exists

To start with I tried to build the modules for the same kernel:

make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-xen/ M=$PWD modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-xen'

But it also fails with a non-xen kernel:

 make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r8/ M=$PWD modules
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r8'
