The most pertinent changes are:
 1. Upgrade ACPI common code from Linux 2.6.11
 2. Remove PCI code

There are a few others (e.g., starting slowly to move to Linux's 
cpumask_t), but I think they are unlikely to be difficult to fix for. 
Certainly they have resulted in very few changes to files in 
include/xen.
Change (1) ought not to be too difficult to fix for ia64 as most of 
your code is 2.6-based already. I just pulled the 2.6.11 x86-specific 
acpi source files into Xen and tweaked them a very small amount to get 
them to build.
Change (2) is also likely very easy, since you say you leave most 
hardware setup to domain0 anyway. I doubt you need to do PCI 
enumeration or scanning in Xen itself? Culling you in-Xen PCI code 
entirely is probably the best way forward.
