All x86 Debian kernels are PAE.

If you're using x86 (and not x86_64) then you need the PAE
hypervisor.

You could compile a custom kernel that is not PAE, and then use the
non-PAE hypervisor, but that sounds like a lot of effort for not
very much gain.

What header files do you need exactly?

Cheers,
