Changesets 10006 and 10009 mask this problem by declaring the image

invalid because xen/ia64 does not have a guestinfo section in thekernel

binary.

The new check for existence of VIRT_BASE can be got rid of: Aravindhhas now supplied us a patch for the actual underlying problem. I'llalso add a proper fallback value for elf_paddr_offset, as thatobviously got missed (we forgot about ia64, sorry!). I'll checksomething in shortly....
