PROVIDES is for things that are distinct.

We offer distinct kernel and xen-kernel spells right now.  One thing on my
list is to get xen-kernel folded back into the regular linux spell; the new
expert kernel option may make that easier, I haven't gotten to it yet.

>From what I understand with xen (similarly uml) you compile the kernel with a custom arch (xen for xen-kernel and uml for the User Mode Linux kernel) so all that 'should' be needed is the patches and the extra arches in the arch menu.

Hopefully ;)
