Sorry, I can't seem to find them.  Could you resend?

I guess there's the larger issue of whether the 
xen_create_contiguous_region() code is also useful on ia64.  It seems to 
me the options are:

   * it is, so we should move the code somewhere common (along with the
     lock)
   * it isn't so ia64 will have its own version (in which case it can
     define its own version of the lock without much impact)
   * or we could move the lock anyway, but there's no very obvious
     place to put it
