i think he already did that... his problem seems to be not the modules, but 
the tools.  it's all complicated because he's using a 64bit kernel (to match 
dom0) with a 32bit userspace (his beloved Slackware).

that makes it hard to match kernel-managing userspace tools with the kernel.

without having tested anything similar, i guess the easiest solutions would 
be:
a) add the needed 64-bit libraries so that the same executable could be used 
on both Dom0 and DomU
b) build a statically-linked 64bit toolchest, so that it doesn't need any 
extra library

.... or switching to a 64-bit distro for DomU's  ... or using 32-bit (PAE?) 
for Dom0...
