unmodified_drivers: update README from http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/UnmodifiedDrivers

Add reference to the fact that these drivers are for "classic-Xen" kernels only
and do not work with PVops but point towards the PVHVM functionality in
mainstream.

-To build:
+These drivers provide paravirtualised drivers for pre-PVops Linux
+kernels which have the classic-Xen patches applied. They do not work

+particular this includes all PVops kernels.

-1. ./mkbuildtree [<arch>]
+For 2.6.36 and newer you should use the "PVHVM" functionality which is
+available in the mainline kernel.

NB. You can override paths to Xen sources and a (stub) XenLinux
build tree via the XEN and XL environment variable.

NB. This is your native kernel build tree (or a distro provided
stub), not the XenLinux sources referred to in step 1.
NB. If you are cross compiling, you need to set ARCH and
