Yes, those are leftovers from a somewhat unsuccessful attempt at getting
ELF-in-bzImage booting working. I need to go back and make bzImage
booting work properly.
I posted those patches as a source of possibly useful code
snippets/summary of things I've looked at so far, rather than something
that can be directly used.

Hm. Looks like Xen is getting upset about dom0 trying to disable
caching. No, wait: 0xffffffff:ffffffff? That's strange; I wonder if
its just misreporting the value, because the code doesn't look like its
trying to write that.
Either way, the fix is to implement xen_write_cr0, and mask off any bits
that Xen won't want us to set/clear (or if it doesn't allow dom0 to
change cr0, just ignore all updates).
