I forgot a wrinkle here.  In order to get the kernels to install
in /boot instead of /boot/boot , I need to do something like

make ARCH=xen INSTALL_PATH=/ modules_install install

instead.  This appears to be due to a design choice where the default
value of INSTALL_PATH for XenoLinux is /boot to make installing the base
xen stack in xen-unstable.hg/dist easier.  I would prefer to not have to
remember this -- perhaps the makefiles could be modified to specify the
somewhat modified INSTALL_PATH for use with xen-unstable.hg/dist
explicitly, so that users who wish to recompile XenoLinux kernels don't
have added pain.

Thanks.
