I remember some people complained that x86_64 xenlinux failed to boot on
the systems with processor(s) that does not NX/XD. The patch should fix
the problem as far as I tested.

Should there be a warning if NX/XD is unsupported? If it isn't because of
a BIOS option, the user probably wants to know in order to turn on the option.
