If users don't configure networking, they can't compile any drivers.

Sorry, that's how the kernel works. btw, on x86 we manage to run even
without preempt notifiers, but a lot of pain is involved.

In practice, I don't expect a problem. Most users get their kernels
from a distribution. You should talk to ia64 distribution vendors to
make sure they enable kvm in their ia64 2.6.26+ kernels.
