Thank you for testing with hp box.
Basically they should be commited except minor issues.
I used RFC because I can test those patches only with tiger4 and
I wasn't sure with other IA64 machines.

outstanding issues (AFAIK):
- fix_balloon_init.patch should be sent out to xen-devel because
  it modifies common code. I'll sent it out today.
  I don't think this is a big issue.
- revise default configurations.
  xen/buildconfigs/
        linux-defconfig_xen0_ia64
        linux-defconfig_xenU_ia64
        linux-defconfig_xen_ia64
  probably CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP and
  CONFIG_{FLATMEM, DISCONTIGMEM, SPARSEMEM}_MANUAL should be revised.
  But I'm not very sure how they should be as default.
- test on BULL box?
  If there is something bad with BULL box, we can solve it out later.
  - BULL: no report yet.
  - sgi altix: Jes Sorensen confirmed.
  - hp: you confirmed.
  - tiger4: I confirmed. I expect those patches are O.K. with tiger2 
            because tiger2 is very similar in memory mapping.
- domU(driver domain)
  This is an another issues. This should be addressed as a different issue.
