Hi Kevin,

   I ran some performance tests from xen-ia64-unstable on this patch
today and also didn't see any obvious performance difference.  My
results for wget for network and bonnie++ for disk were very consistent
between runs though.  It's nice to see that iosapic virtualization
appears to have such minimal overhead.  Thanks,

        Alex
