unmodified_drivers: update README from 
http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/UnmodifiedDrivers

Add reference to the fact that these drivers are for "classic-Xen" kernels only
and do not work with PVops but point towards the PVHVM functionality in
mainstream.

-To build:
+These drivers provide paravirtualised drivers for pre-PVops Linux
+kernels which have the classic-Xen patches applied. They do not work
+with kernels which are not patched with the classic-Xen patches. In
+particular this includes all PVops kernels.
 
-1. ./mkbuildtree [<arch>]
+For 2.6.36 and newer you should use the "PVHVM" functionality which is

+To build do one of:

+   ./mkbuildtree [<arch>]
    NB. You can override paths to Xen sources and a (stub) XenLinux
        build tree via the XEN and XL environment variable.

        stub), not the XenLinux sources referred to in step 1.
    NB. If you are cross compiling, you need to set ARCH and
