x86_32 (PAE)

    * SLES 9 SP2, FC3, and RHEL 4 IBM xSeries 305, and IBM ThinkCentre
    * Dom0 boots without problems; however,
    * We are able to create DomUs ONLY when using *swiotlb=force* as a
      kernel parameter for dom0
    * Ran LTP on both Dom0 and DomU


    ISSUES:

        * DomU boot crashes Dom0, Bugzilla #168
              o Workaround: use swiotlb=force as a kernel parameter when
                booting dom0
              o DomU boots up normally if using swiotlb=forceX server
                will not come up on Dom0 on a FC3 box when Xen built
                with PAE 'on', Bugzilla #137
        * Networking issue on FC3 when Xen built with PAE, Bugzilla #173
              o DomU unable to get dhcp address
              o tcpdump shows lots of networking activity being 'heard'
              o ping from external box shows corrupt packets
              o DomU has no trouble getting IP address when Xen built
                non-PAE, however
