I was able to get 1.0.9 to compile with some changes.  I did not take
the time to investigate why my changes worked or even if all of them
were necessary as I was in a rush to get Jorge a working installation
but here they are for documentation purposes.

I noticed there was a hunk failing in the patch.  It looked like it was
trying to patch in /usr/src/linux even though KERNELSRC had been
provided in the command line arguments.  I created a symbolic link from
the xen kernel source to /usr/src/linux, patched (make ARCH=xen insert)
and then was able to successfully run make ARCH=xen menuconfig.

However, make ARCH=xen failed.  It appeared to be upset by 1DES and some
of the modular encryption and authentication algorithms so I simply
disabled them all in my rush and it compiled perfectly - John
