Hi xiaolong,

Really thanks for your testing.

let's make the problem clearly firstly:

1) Commit 43436935b7 ("x86/xen: Bypass intr mode setup in enlighten_pv
system") made kernel boot failed, which caused by OOM.

2) Commit 03fa63cc96 ("x86/time: Initialize interrupt mode behind timer 
init") can make the kernel boot success again, but with an ACPI error 
happened.

And both *1* and *2* used the same configuration showed in the
attachment.

Does anything I missed?

Thanks,

	dou.
