[Fedora-xen] [RFC] enable xen-ia64 in fedora kernel cvs

This patch enables xen-ia64 support in the fedora kernel.  It applies
to the cvs tree checked out according to the instructions at
http://people.redhat.com/davej/

This is *nearly* ready to be applied.  AFAIK, the only nagging issue
is that it doesn't boot because of the hypervisor/kernel mismatch.
(Full description of the problem at 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ia64-list/2006-June/msg00026.html)

To fix this for the moment, I think all that needs to happen is for
Juan to generate a new linux-2.6-xen.patch from the linux-2.6.tip-xen
repository, and then take a new snapshot of the hypervisor from
xen-unstable.  That should bring the two into near enough proximity
for ia64 to boot again.

Juan, could you do this ASAP?  It would be a great help since I could
follow up with a version of this patch suitable for integration.

Regarding long-term solution, I think it would be best for Juan to
take maintainership of the linux-2.6.tip-xen repository.  That would
allow him to sync it to xen-unstable at the same time that he takes
the hypervisor snapshot.  The result should always be a matched pair.

I'd be interested to hear comments regarding this suggestion and this
patch.
