I tried using linux-2.6.12/arch/ia64/defconfig with edits to
add CONFIG_XEN=y and change CONFIG_IA32_SUPPORT=n and changing
all =m to =y.  The resultant xenlinux runs successfully as
dom0 though it is much bigger and boots slower.  However,
it crashes when booting as domU.  Since we can probably
reduce the config file for domU significantly, this is
unlikely to be a problem once we have a default domU config.

Could you confirm that defconfig with the above changes works
for tiger4?  If so, we can replace the zx1-specific config in
sparse/arch/xen/configs/.
