For the moment, yes. That's what we're using on x86_32/64 side too.
I don't know how long those will last w/out becoming more general.
Certainly for the purpose of patch submission/discussion with Linux/ia64
it's reasonable.  But perhaps it should become something that's more
feature specific it that's possible, so x86 Xen and ia64 Xen configs can
enable/disable as needed?

What do the patches look like?  Maybe there's overlap with what we're
already working on...
