Well, I *tried* to use drivers/acpi/numa.c first, and I quit after I had
to pull in more than few headers; it was just too intertwined.  I think
using the i386 parser and calling into the x86_64 logic should be
do-able.  I'll give it a go and post back here with the results.

Pulling in a few more header files (presumably from include/acpi?) would be okay, as long as you don't end up grabbing loads of .c files. But really i don't see the problem here -- drivers/acpi/numa.c hardly pulls in very many header files. It grabs acmacros.h and acpi_bus.h, both of which Xen has already.

Just take a logical look at that file: it clearly doesn't use much ACPI machinery and I really think it should be possible to port it down to Xen with not much modification. Unless you can give a concrete example why I'm wrong. :-)

I'd _much_ rather do that than have a franken-file of i386 and x86/64 code.
