Sorry, the drivers/base/cpu.c portion is just an artifact of xen's build
system which modifies that file on build, but doesn't unmodify it on
distclean. It shouldn't have been included in my patch.

kernel/kexec.c needs to be modified primarily so that mfns are used
instead of pfns. Again because of strangeness in the the xen build
system, this patch is a bit odd as it patches a file not covered by a
xen checkout (even though its needed for a xen build).  If you run the
following before applying the patch it should apply.

make prep-kernels clean kclean
make -C linux-2.6.16-xen distclean

Yes, that is probably the best way forward, I'll work on breaking it
out in that manner.
