[Xen-devel] [PATCH]fix for xentrace_format on 64bit

[Rob Gardner <rob.gardner@xxxxxx>]

This is a resend of the patch I sent out yesterday which apparently got 
garbled.
The xentrace_format script doesn't work on x86/64. Python pads the input 
structure because the first field is 32 bits and the next is 64 bits, 
whereas x86-32 doesn't pad. The quick fix is to read the cpu id 
separately as a 32bit value, then read the rest of the trace record. 
Here is a little patch that does that. Tested on x86/32 SMP and x86/64.
