xen comes with a sparse tree (new files for the kernel source) and a set of 
patches for a kernel.

What you'll have to do is:
1) copy the sparse tree into your kernel dir (no files should be overwritten 
by this)
(or the other way round, copy the kernel dir into the sparse tree)
2) apply the patches to your kernel source.

You don't have to be in your xen sourcedir to do that, you also could leave 
the kernel in /usr/src and patch + copy there.
