Does any other of the armhf linux-headers-* work? Oh wait, there are not
that many any more :-)

Sounds like a question for the kernel maintainers ...


what about ignoring CONFIG_XEN on armhf in nv-linux.h:

-#if defined(CONFIG_XEN) && !defined(CONFIG_PARAVIRT)
+#if defined(CONFIG_XEN) && !defined(CONFIG_PARAVIRT) &&
!defined(CONFIG_whatever_indicates_armhf)
