Thread-topic: xen_phys_start for 32b
On 64b builds of Xen, xen_phys_start holds the starting (physical) address of 
the hypervisor.  However, on 32b systems it is 0.  While I realize that 32b Xen 
does not relocate the hypervisor, why not set this variable to the start of the 
code (__pa(&_start)) so that it will represent the same thing on all builds?

Joe
