The hvmloader for ia64 is managed in another repository:
  http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware/
And it has an prebuilt binary, binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin.

Quick start:
  hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware/
  cp efi-vfirmware/binaries/xenia64-gfw.bin /usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader

Best regards,
