Hi,

at present Xen supports only domU's with the same endianess.
The ia64 cpu is able to run in little or big endianess. Currently ia64-Xen 
runs little endian (dom0 linux too) and supports little endian domU's. I want 
to add support for big endian domU's on ia64-Xen.
My first step is changing the loader stuff to get big endian elf images loaded 
into the memory. Only tools/libxc/xc_load_elf.c is concerned.
Therefore I added some swap inline functions and macros.
Please have a look and send your comments!
Thanks.

Dietmar.
