Not sure i did right thing, i've edited 60036_xen3-patch-2.6.30.patch1 as follows:-

 #endif

allows to compile unbind_from_irq() in ./linux-2drivers/xen/core/evtchn.c with no errors and xenified kernel been built seems to work OK
Make menuconfig didn't require any changes to enable Xen Dom0 support .

In .config :-

Before build CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y
After build # CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ is not set

May I ask why you found the first and third ones to be necessary? Unless
it's because of the conditional in the loop right after the commen "Zap
stats across IRQ changes of use." in unbind_from_irq(), which I fixed a
few days ago, but didn't push out to our internal repo so far. (The fix
is to change the dependency from CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ to
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS in the 2.6.30 patch.)

The second one seems less meaningful, as I wouldn't think anyone would
build a general use (Xen) kernel with EMBEDDED=y, and HOTPLUG is not
user selectable without EMBEDDED.

May I also ask for you to let us know about fixes to the patches that you
find necessary which aren't just due to you applying them to plain 2.6.30?

Thanks, Jan
