The differences are substantial enough that pci-gart.c
needs several functions that are only in lib/swiotlb.c.
Is xen-merge going to move up to 2.6.16 soon or should
I just figure out the Makefile magic to get x86_64 to
compile with lib/swiotlb.c if CONFIG_IOMMU_GART is
defined and arch/i386/kernel/swiotlb.c if it isn't?
