   Nope, we just changed this a couple weeks ago, see here:

http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg?rev/a504ee7aae90

The code that sets it earlier is in the PCDP setup.  If we move the code
chunk earlier, we have no way to determine of conswitchp is set to the
default or set intelligently by the PCDP table.  Thanks,

        Alex
