        obj-y := $(call cherrypickxen, $(obj-y))

at the end of the Makefile will rewrite foo.o as foo-xen.o if there is a
foo-xen.c or foo-xen.S available. The function is defined in
scripts/Makefile.xen

Interesting! Would you tell me why we need that trick?

In that case, we can empty file traps-xen.c, no? Because according to
your mention, only the filename (and its existence) matters, but not
its content.

Thanks.
