It needs merging with latest tip I think. xc_private.h is missing a
prototype for xc_set_error(), so it doesn't compile. Also it
re-introduces ERR(), which causes problems for us, and can just be
removed.

I fixed these two problems and did some simple tests on Solaris; all
seems OK:

bash-3.00# xm create -c johnlev-64.py
Using config file "johnlev-64.py".
Error: [2, 'Invalid kernel', "Kernel ELF architecture '62' does not match Xen 
architecture '3' (i386)"]

(It's so wonderful to get a meaningful error message at last!!)

john
