Hi Olaf,

There is a bunch of variables missing in this section such as:
    - XEN_TARGET_ARCH: specify for which architecture we want to build Xen
    - CROSS_COMPILE: prefix of the toolchain (including the trailing 
dash "-")

This is very useful for compiling Xen ARM as it may be very slow to 
compile on the board.
