I do not have to make this change.  However I feel the comment is
misleading, and I changed it.  The real change is later:


diff --git a/tools/libxl/libxl_x86.c b/tools/libxl/libxl_x86.c
index 651b338..fd7dafa 100644
--- a/tools/libxl/libxl_x86.c

                                       xc_domain_configuration_t *xc_config)
 {
-    /* Note: will be changed in a later patch */
-    xc_config->vmware_hwver = 0;
+    xc_config->vmware_hwver = d_config->c_info.vmware_hwver;
     return 0;
 }

which is where "arch-specific configuration" is done.  This is where the
default "arch-specific configuration" is done.
