[Xen-users] Menuconfig'ing Xen, applying patches

[Luke <secureboot@xxxxxxxxx>]

I need to apply patches to the Xen kernel (I'm using the latest
xen-unstable).  After doing so, I need to
enable some new options that appear during menuconfig.

I am aware that the bottom of the README reads thusly:
make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig     (or xconfig)
make linux-2.6-xen-build
make linux-2.6-xen-install


My sequence:
put patch in patches/linux-2.6.18
edit the series file to apply this patch

I then run make linux-2.6-xen-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig, where I
enable my new options.

However, the config file that gets put into dist/ or build-linux-2.6.18/
doesn't reflect the menuconfig changes, once I run make
linux-2.6-xen-build.  Why is this?  How do I actually patch and
configure a Xen kernel?  I used to menuconfig directly in the
linux-2.6.18-xen directory, but that throws an error nowadays, asking me
to make mrproper.

What procedure will actually work here?

(I tried to post a similar question to xen-devel a while ago, but I
don't think the message went through - sorry for any duplicates)
