[pkg-nvidia-devel] Bug#470817: patch to restore Xen support in nvidia-graphics-kernels

I should point out that the nvidia driver 169.09 compiles out of the box with 
the debian linux-2.6.18-6-amd64 kernel, only exporting the 
IGNORE_XEN_PRESENCE environment variable.

The problems come in when you try to use a kernel with a newer xen patchset, 
like the one in the mercurial repository of xensource (2.6.18.8-xen).

I've made a patch, very similar to yours, but that addresses also problems in 
config.sh.

I've already posted it on the xen mailing list and the nvidia linux forum. 
I've received no feedback from the community..

Perhaps, I'm using it, and it works, also with opengl games and with twinview.
