The last commit in that repository is almost 9 years old, and IA64
support was dropped from Xen mainline6 years ago.

http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=xen.git;a=commitdiff;h=570c311ca2c7a1131570cdfc77e977bc7a9bf4c0

There are a number of other dead links in this doc, and those which
aren't dead refer to Linux 2.6.x.  I'd just remove the entire file,
rather than pretend that any of this still might work.  (If by some
miracle it does still function, its 10 years behind on security fixes...)

If the situation is like that, I agree to delete this file.
