Zach, looks nice.  Saves Xen a partial copy of setup.c.  Did you have
further/similar consolidations in mind?

Is this intended to make way for possible fine tuning?  Smth like:

mcore-$(CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER)	+= arch/i386/another_default.o
(hmm, not sure if that would even work)

Or just an aesthetic change?

should probably be consistent (_MACH_HOOKS_H vs. MACH_HOOKS_H)
