Marco,

After writing my previosu email I've concluded that, even if we fix 
cli/sti instructions, there are other arch-dependencies that are much 
harder for us to handle automatically, or even with static rewriting of 
the driver binary.
Really, since you are building this driver from source, the correct 
course of action is to find why it compiled against i386 rather than 
xen architecture. It is probably something really simple: e.g., did you 
build the driver while in native Linux and only after that reboot into 
XenLinux? If you know how, taking a look at the compiler command line 
and Makefiles will probably make it fairly obvious how to make the 
driver look at arch/xen rather than arch/i386.
