Probably most of the things that depend on it are actually managed by Xen
itself. Possibly this assumption is wrong and the code needs to be re-added,
or perhaps the problem is actually within Xen?
Can you point out the specific troubling code in our Linux tree (e.g., the
specific #if0'ed code, and also the place where the kernel ultimately gets
confused and the request fails)?
