Dan,

VTI is live and healthy.  Members in this community are eager to build
product base on Xen/VTI,  members want to make sure they have Xen ready
for their products.  This is how the community contribute into this
effort.

We should revisit Xen/ia64 current implementation to make sure the
community members can benefit from it, example as VHPT for SMP support
and PMT for grant table described in the other threads.
