Thank you for your response. 

I discovered that just renaming the include/xen directory does not help.
There's still a clash.

I discovered that the following directories need to be deleted/renamed.

/usr/src/linux/include/xen
/usr/src/linux/incude/asm-i386/mach-xen

And then, run mkbuildtree and do make as in the README file, and I am
good to go.

So, here's my question : Even though I am on a x86_64 hvm, why does it
include and compile code from asm-i386? Renaming (or not renaming the)
asm-x86_64/mach-xen seems to have absolutely no effect.
