i usually use diff like this: diff -Nurp <origine> <modified>
it is better to run this command from outside of the top directory of
xen, for example: diff -Nurp xen-2.0.6.org xen-2.0.6.modified >
mypatch
the you will want to submit the "mypatch" file just generated to the
list.
see also -X and -x option of diff. these option will be helpful to you.
good luck,
