Xen devel - Oct 2005 - Recent changeset breaks Xen/ia64 build

Hmmm... some changeset in -unstable in the last 24 hours has
badly broken the Xen/ia64 build.  From the cascade of
error messages, I suspect it is type-related.  I''ll look
into it but if someone could point to the likely culprit,
I''d appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dan

As well as my SMP Athlon spin, but UP P4 is fine.

I removed u8/u16/u32 etc from the public interfaces and fiddled with 
xen/types.h at the same time. Perhaps I''ve managed to break xen/types.h
for you?

Thanks for the help.  I''m still not clear on how what
changed caused the cascading errors, but discovered
that two arch/ia64/vmx files have included public/xen.h
and removing that include fixes the problem.

I''ll change this for the next ia64 push.
