I fail to see how this can work, or why it's needed. All the pv-ops stuff is
useless in the Xen-ified kernels, and hence the config option shouldn't
even be presented if XEN is enabled.

Perhaps the Xen configs we use should simply also be added? Unfortunately
these are no longer part of kernel-source-*.<arch>.rpm, so they'd need
to be grabbed out of the binary RPMs (which certainly makes updating that
tree more cumbersome).
