Is this a Xen supplied linux.tar.bz2 or a generic (e.g. from kernel.org
etc)? 

You still need a patch from the Xen to apply to the standard kernel. In
the Xen distribution, you'll find a patch-2.6.16-rc4.bz2 for example,
which is the patch for the latest(ish) Xen & kernel. You'd need a 2.6.15
patch for the 2.6.15 kernel, of course. 

This obviously applies also for kernel 2.6.12 for example, so nothing
changed here, although the format of the patch was more like a patch
directory structure (.../patches/linux-2.6.12/* for example).
