Yes, xc_vmx_build.c should be OS-agnostic, and those
Linux-specific stuff should be removed. It's not good for
Linux, either.

So we will send a patch for that.

I think you should be able to get rid of:
 1. Linux boot params
 2. e820 map
 3. vboot_gdt

Should make xc_vmx_build a *lot* smaller. :-)
