Xen glue doesn't get in at that level. The first Xen knows about the
mapping is the attempt to set a pte with meaningless contents.
I still think the sc520 driver should make some rudimentary attempt to
see if its actually running on a relevant system (ie, an AMD Elan)
before creating iomappings. I don't know if DMI, cpuid or some other
mechanism would be best though.
