Well, it tells me what is wrong but not how to fix it...

;-)

For some reason the stable-2.6.32x branch doesn't have the drivers/xen/gntdev 
driver source in it while the 2.6.31 kernel does.  Beats me why...

When I run menuconfig in the 2.6.31 kernel I see the option for XEN_GNTDEV but 
not in the 2.6.32 kernel.  Copying the config from 2.6.31 to 2.6.32 doesn't 
help because the driver module is missing from the tree and just won't show up.

I'll go search the archives some more and see if I can find any answers.

Thanks for the pointers.
