Since this patch wasn't committed, the shadow2 changes created
conflicts. Here is the respin. Note that I have not tested with shadow2,
but as you can see below the math doesn't need to be so complicated.

Ewan, please apply or comment.


[XEND] abstract architecture-specific bits in image.py
- create arch.type (which evaluates to "x86", "ia64" or "powerpc")
- create subclasses for x86 and ia64 HVM loaders
- rework findImageHandlerClass()
