I find it very hard to believe that changing 'Xend changeset: unavailable"
to list an explicit changeset has anything at all todo with the problem.
All fedora & RHEL xen builds have the changeset info disabled, and it is
not used in any functional codepath path related to the hypervisor or 
kernel. It is merely a bit of user facing info.
