Would it be possible to have the correct EXTRAVERSION value (-xen0 and -xenU) in the Makefiles for the different kernels that are built by Xen? Makefiles for drivers that are not in the kernel tree often try to grok ''linux-src/Makefile'' to learn what version of kernel was compiled. I personally hit the problem when trying to compile the Cisco iSCSI driver for Xen.

It then spits out warnings on screen as ''uname -r'' does not match what it gets from the Makefile. On close inspection, it turns out that the warnings are just noise and things will work if you are careful. So I guess we are ok for now.
