Ok. Lack of a clocksource is to be expected.

The reason why the HPETs are unavailable is that dom0 is not a position
to program them; dom0 doesn't know what Xen has set up in the IDT.

Use `xl dmesg` to get to the hypervisor dmesg log. You should see
mention of the HPET in there if Xen has found it.

back to the error at hand ...

xl dmesg | grep -i hpet
[ 1.365876] hpet_acpi_add: no address or irqs in _CRS
[ 1.365876] hpet_acpi_add: no address or irqs in _CRS

again, only present when booting with Xen.

same kernel, no Xen, no such error.
