The next snapshot should have basically only sparse tree files in
mach-xen/. Moving functions alone can get a bit messy because there's
some dependency with the other subarches. May be good enough for first
pass to just get subarch with only spars files (at which point we could
commit to Xen tree). The further breakdown could then happen
in-tree...at least that's my current thinking.
