In addition to previous post:
Ah, sorry, the pristine-linux-... Is created by the main Xen makefile,
by downloading the linux source from kernels.org or some such. 

Once you have a pristine linux, you can probably do the steps I
suggested. 

It may work to try to prepare the kernel by make prep-kernels as well -
I didn't want to upset my tree by doing a clean and try that...
