What you can do is go into the directory, in xen, of your kernel source,
e.g.linux-2.6.11-xen-sparce, and run the command mkbuildtree. That will put
the architecture files in your linux source. Then go to your Linux source
tree and run

make menuconfig ARCH=xen

I'm new to Xen as well, but I believe that is correct. If I'm wrong someone
please correct me.

make world will download the kernel sources, patch them and build kernels.
make dist is basically the same but it doesn't rebuild the kernels from
scratch each time (may be faster if you need to rebuild in the future).
