Sure, that is fine and can be a future minor task.

Something I want to get clarified first, eventually with pv_ops patch
series
get in, RH eventually will only compile to get one image to run on
different
platforms including xen machine. In this way all the codes with
CONFIG_XEN today must be either checked in as generic code, or pv_ops
 except for those dual compile codes such as IVT & gate.

In other word, CONFIG_XEN will disappear mostly. RIght?

Xen machine vector also needs to be compiled when in
CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC.

Thanks, eddie
