This is great! I'm impressed that your ported xen to amd64 in so short  
time.

If it is possible I want test XEN_DOMU kernels. I have couple of Linux  
amd64 DOM0.
I checkouted bouyer-xenamd64  to my notebook, but I was not able to  
build kernel.
Can you upload install and normal DOMU kernels somewhere ?
