Anthony,

   Tristan has updated these to use the new hypercalls introduced in
xen-ia64 cset 9273.  If there still latent uses of privified
instructions, I'll be happy to turn the default to enable them, but I
believe they are all replaced by the new hypercalls if you do a full
build from the latest changeset.  Thanks,
        
        Alex
