This doesn't sound like something that is only a temporary workaround.
However, suppressing real mode execution has its own issues:
- There are known issues with GrUB properly passing the E820 table, meaning
that Xen would use incorrect (truncated) memory information if it is prevented
from getting the information from the BIOS directly.
- There is more than just the E820 information retrieved while in real mode,
and this information is known to be required in certain cases for proper
functioning of Dom0.
So I think this needs to be addressed in some way.
