Xen only supports modern CPUs even when running a 32-bit kernel, and it now
requires a kernel built for a 64 byte (or larger) cache line:
In file included from <command-line>:

inlined from 'xen_vcpu_setup_restore' at arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:111:3,

166 | BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(*vcpup) > SMP_CACHE_BYTES);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
Enforce the dependency with a whitelist of CPU configurations. In normal
distro kernels, CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is enabled, and this works fine. When this
is not set, still allow Xen to be built on kernels that target a 64-bit
capable CPU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
