I wish it's so easy. However, renaming of include/asm-xen to include/asm-i386
doesn't work, because some include files from asm-xen (param.h for example) 
include ../asm-i386/ files too :-) Moreover, my guess is that it's still not 
sufficient, see bellow.
Openafs' Makefile creates symlinks to several kernel-source/include directories
including asm-i386 (others are include/net, include/linux, include/asm).
I was easily able to change this makefile to use asm-xen instead and I was able 
to compile openafs with such setup. And this version
creates oops I have sent to xen mailing list. However, I don't see any other 
usage of kernel source and therefore I don't understand what is missing to 
create "xen-enabled" binaries.
