Not really lots... these are the new ones:

    XEN_UTIL

...doesn't work if XEN_IA64_DOM0_VP

    XEN_BALLOON
    XEN_CHAR
    XEN_SKBUFF
    XEN_REBOOT
    XEN_SMPBOOT

...don't work unless XEN_IA64_DOM0_VP

We could use bigger hammers by handling them all with 2 variables, but
IMHO that's just setting them up to be separated in the future when
the situation changes, a new architecture is ported, etc.

Do you think there's a better way?

I'm a little confused how this relates to the patch...

I'd like that.  Alex, what do you think?
