FYI - I've mended this fix into my upcoming v2 series, I've also made
a separate patch to make annotate the XEN subarch on the PV guest boot
path (xen_start_kernel()). While at it, I'll go and also add an
extension of documentation to the subarch based on the conversations
on this thread, and make lguest explicitly use LGUEST subarch rather
than just the digit.
