Also /proc/xen doesn't exist for these kernels so the tests for domU
(line 902) fail as well. As far as I know there is currently no
equivalent source of this information in these kernels (nothing in /sys
that I can see)

The PRIVILEGED_GUEST isn't important right now since the paravirt_ops
kernels (i.e. 2.6.23+) don't do domain 0 yet.
