That's strange... the patched kernel worked here... (except that the non-sparse
patches were not applied, as stated in #308805)
Did you compile the kernel passing --arch=xen to make-kpkg (or ARCH=xen to the
normal kernel make?)...  (other than to make oldconfig, or make menuconfig)...

Actually I think this is perfectly fine. Xen as of version 2.0, while being
itself SMP capable, doesn't support SMP virtual machines. This means that
different VM will use different CPUs, but each of them will see only one at a
time.

Let us know if you were able to compile xen successfully! :)
