   Thanks Dietmar.  I think this is something we need to watch closely
so that ia64 can be ready should mini-os start being used for fully
virtualized domains.

   I imagine you'll have to do some re-architecture of the code to allow
ia64 to fit cleanly into the existing code.  The might mean making
architecture specific sub-directories under extras/mini-os and moving
the existing architecture specific files under them.  That should
probably be coordinated on xen-devel, but please keep xen-ia64-devel in
the loop.  When you're ready to add the ia64 code, submit that to the
xen-ia64-devel list.  Thanks,

        Alex
