... especially given the new announcement of Montecito
delays:

Using history as a guide (not HP internal information...
I don't have any), it usually takes a few months from
chip release to volume production of systems based on
the chip.  If this is true, it is likely to be at least
9-12 months until most Itanium users have access to
VTI systems.  Thus, we should probably focus on getting
non-VTI features stable for Xen/ia64 3.0.
