That's just a spurious warning; you can safely ignore it.

Use xen/stable-2.6.32.x.  You can easily switch to it by doing:

$ cd linux-2.6-pvops.git
$ git checkout xen/stable-2.6.32.x
$ git pull

and rebuild.  It will probably ask you some config questions to update 
your config for the new kernel; choose the defaults unless there's 
something you specifically want to change.  Use "git pull" to update 
subsequently.
