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.
