No, try giving domain0 genapic a go.

I suspect it will be an issue with x86_64 smp as well.  The apic stuff
is on the plate for cleanup for merge as well.  Could use some insight
re: xen's apic handling.

To a first approximation: Xen owns the local APICs, but domain0 owns the I/O APICs. All IOAPIC writes go via Xen which can rewrite them if necessary (at the moment that's limited to changing the local-apic target).
