You will need to have non-free (and probably contrib) along with main in your 
main debian archive lines in /etc/apt/sources.list.

Reading into the thread a bit you may have some problems getting the module 
built with a 2.6.21 kernel (unless you build your own with config 
paravirt_ops diabled). It can be done but it may take an extra push.
