I understand the intention, but I'm worried about breaking native
kernels: If the changes you made are appropriate for native, then
why aren't they upstream? And if they aren't or if there is any doubt,
then they ought to at least be contained in #ifdef CONFIG_XEN blocks
(but of course I'd much prefer not having many of these in generic
code, and even more in ACPI CA code).
