I have also had to hack up privcmd.c for PowerPC. (It's not at all "done", but 
if you're curious you can see 
http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-ppc-2.6.hg?cmd=file;filenode=2d94a3add83d64fa65e574dffbcb9a7cebea5c4b;file=drivers/xen/privcmd/privcmd.c
 .) 

It would be cleaner to have privcmd_ioctl just call out to arch_privcmd_ioctl. 
For example, PPC Linux doesn't do physical<->machine translation right now. 
We will probably change that in the future, but for the moment things like 
'machine_to_phys_mapping' do not exist. It seems from your ifdefs that IA64 
has similar issues, so for now it seems there are more differences than 
commonality in privcmd_ioctl, so we should just make it arch-specific.
