Please see my reply to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482305 and other messages in the various related bugs. The enabling of these settings in the 686 kernel is quite deliberate and the bug lies in the nvidia scripts/packaging which incorrectly assumes that CONFIG_XEN=y => incompatible with Nvidia, this is not true with the paravirt_ops style of Xen support present in kernels 2.6.22 and later (and enabled in Debian around 2.6.24 or 25 or so). I believe this issue is fixed in the nvidia-source packages in sid and probably lenny too. If you are not using these you should take the issue up with nvidia.
