FYI, I think I've also seen this problem, or something similar,
but ONLY on a Nehalem box (and only intermittently), not on my
Core 2 Duo boxen.  The
Nehalem box is an SDP so I had assumed that it was something
to do with that, but maybe not.  Maybe some feature is
"leaking through" to the guest.  Hyperthreading? MSI? EPT?

Anyway, if you have a newer box, you might try reproducing
on that, rather than your usual development box (which IIRC
was a Core 2 Duo laptop?)
No, this bug turned out to be a simple typo in the patch that got merged
into the upstream stable kernels.

Hello,

kernels 2.6.35.5 and 2.6.32.22 xen domU panics at the very begining
of the
quoted
boot process.

I have bisected it to a single commit, and the first bad commit is:
[fb412a178502dc498430723b082a932f797e4763] xen: use percpu interrupts
for IPIs and VIRQs
quoted
kernel v2.6.35.5 with reverted this commit works for me.
Thanks very much for doing that.  I'll have to work out what's going on
(obviously it doesn't do it for me).

Here are the kernel configs I was using:
http://carme.pld-linux.org/~pawelz/kernel-2.6.35.5-domU-config
http://carme.pld-linux.org/~pawelz/kernel-2.6.32.22-domU-config
As you can see they are stripped down configs, intended to run in
domU only.

I was testing it with the very simple domU configuration:

kernel  = '/srv/xen/bzImage'
memory  = '128'
vcpus = 2
name    = 'test'
on_poweroff = 'destroy'
on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'

Here is the full output of kernel 2.6.35.5:
