The IA64 version will get merged into drivers/xen/util at some point, so the
old todo message still applies. x86 will need an ia64-style one for
supporting e.g., backend-pv-drivers-on-hvm.

Probably just getting rid of XXX/TODO messages altogether is fine. It's
fairly obvious there may be work to be done wherever #ifdef <arch> crops up
in driver code.
