Is there a way of telling if a module has not been compiled for Xen?
Its possible I might have on one occasion run 'make' with 'ARCH=xen' on
one occasion in the domU linux src directory. Then later realised by
mistake and recompile with the correct ARCH statement. So modules from
the previous non-ARCHed compile run might have polluted the modules and
been installed.
