When the call is omitted (on ia64 and powerpc), do_softirq() crashes trying to call a null function pointer. In cases like this where you *know* you''re going to break the non-x86 architectures, please email xen-ppc-devel and xen-ia64-devel to let us know what we''ll need to do in the future, rather than force us to reverse-engineer the crash.
