Shriram and Ian,

I update the patch according to Ian's comments, as attached.
Test result shows compiling OK now.

Hi,
sorry for the delay but I was waiting for the xen side bug to get resolved
before testing your patch. It works properly in remus installation.

Acked-by: Shriram Rajagopalan <rshriram@xxxxxxxxx>

Thanks,
Jinsong
