No, there was a silly typo in xen/stable.  I committed a fix for it, but 
note that I'm specifically talking about xen/stable-2.6.32.x, which 
differs from xen/stable by having slightly experimental PAT support in 
it, which I'd like to shake out before saying "this is the ``official'' 
stable kernel".
