You, Sir, are my hero.

I'm checking in with my results so far...

I am running on an Intel Xeon platform, Debian squeeze dom0 (Xen 4.0) 
with 2 vcpu's and 2GB allocated to NetBSD domU.  My domU is running 5.1 
userland with cherry-xenmp kernel, compiled like this (code was checked 
out October 12th):

cvs checkout -r cherry-xenmp src
./build.sh -m amd64 tools
./build.sh -m amd64 kernel=XEN3_DOMU

Status: working fine, but I haven't loaded it much yet.  I am running 
GNOME in Xvnc and I'm able to poke around and browse the web just fine. 
 I'll try to build /src with -j4.
