hi,

in kernel/head.S, I see the following:

.section __xen_guest
   .ascii
"GUEST_OS=linux,GUEST_VER=2.6,XEN_VER=3.0,VIRT_BASE=0xC0000000"
                                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wonder why setting VIRT_BASE here is necessary, as the ELF header should contain this information already? 

thanks,
Jacob
