Thanks again. I had a depper look into the suse sources and they offer
a tool called guards which generates a list of required patches for
the running arch in the right order.

The following was taken from README.SUSE

-------------%>-------------------------------------

    # Apply the patches

      $ for p in $(./guards $(./arch-symbols) < series.conf); do
          patch -d linux-2.6.25 -p1 < $p || break
        done

-------------%>-------------------------------------

So i piped that into a file, removed all further suse patches and cut
also fixes and so on. result was a list with the required xen patches.
As i took the latest 2.6.25 release from kernel.org with included
patches, i had not have to apply the patches.kernel.org directory too.

Regards
