Hi Konrad,

I just tried to boot a 3.8.0-rc0 kernel (last commit: 7313264b899bbf3988841296265a6e0e8a7b6521) as dom0 on my machine with current xen-unstable.
The boot stalls:

[ 0.000000] ACPI: PM-Timer IO Port: 0x808
[ 0.000000] ACPI: Local APIC address 0xfee00000
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x01] lapic_id[0x00] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x02] lapic_id[0x01] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x03] lapic_id[0x02] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x04] lapic_id[0x03] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x05] lapic_id[0x04] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: LAPIC (acpi_id[0x06] lapic_id[0x05] enabled)
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x06] address[0xfec00000] gsi_base[0])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[0]: apic_id 6, version 33, address 0xfec00000, GSI 0-23
[ 0.000000] ACPI: IOAPIC (id[0x07] address[0xfec20000] gsi_base[24])
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 7, version 33, address 0xfec20000, GSI 24-
[ 64.598628] INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:

[ 64.598692] sending NMI to all CPUs:
[ 64.598716] xen: vector 0x2 is not implemented


Perhaps an interesting line is the incomplete (no end of range, and it stalls there some time before the kernel reports the stall itself:
[ 0.000000] IOAPIC[1]: apic_id 7, version 33, address 0xfec20000, GSI 24-


The exact seem config with 3.7.0 as kernel works fine.
Complete serial log is attached.
