Yeah, that figures.  I'm in the process of expunging ctrl_if related code at 
the moment.  Stay tuned and might even start to build :-)

You won't be able to just tweak the Makefiles... It'll need the xenstore code 
in my private repository.

The data-plane code will all be the same (for now!) as when it was working.  
Some of the code is likely to require eye protection though, it's quite 
grim ;-)  You should find it nicely illustrates some of the main tricks I'm 
pulling to make Linux play nice with a shared page cache.  It turns out Linux 
is better predisposed to doing that than one might think, so long as you prod 
it in the right ways...

All the thanks there go to Matt and James, I really didn't do anything apart 
from squeal ;-)
