Ough what a hell :-) . So why is so much stuff disabled? I mean, 
if I make menuconfig without setting ARCH, it is assumed that my machine
has a PCI-bus, but with Xen, it is not?

However thanks for the pointer, it still fails (probably because other
important yet configureable stuff have been disabled, too) but I have
something to look for ;-)
