Are you suggesting that ia64/xen should define its own
xen_reservation_lock?
Then, can you replace the patch with the following one?

The difference from the original is only the hunk in
arch/ia64/xen/hypervisor.c.
Although it is easy to fix it by ia64 specific patch, I prefer
not to break from the first place.

thanks,

* xen_create_contiguous_region needs access to the balloon lock to
  ensure memory doesn't change under its feet, so expose the balloon
  lock
* Change the name of the lock to xen_reservation_lock, to imply it's
  now less-specific usage.
