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

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.
