It would only exist if you're building the unified kernel.  If you're
building separate domU and dom0 kernels you'll have slightly differently
named build directories.

To just rebuild a couple of modules that I've changed I do:

 cd /path/to/your/xen-unstable.hg
 make -C build-linux-<whatever>_x86_32 modules

where <whatever> should match the kernel you want to build for.

This doesn't result in the compiled modules being copied to
dist/install/lib/modules/ in the xen-unstable.hg as it would if I'd done
a normal "make dist", but copying them over is easy enough with a
script.

Thanks everyone!
Kieran, I just added "M=driver/path/to/driver" and it worked!
The final line looks like this ->

make -C build-linux-2.6.18-xen_x86_32 modules M=drivers/char/mydriver
CONFIG_MYDRIVER=m
