Hi!

A bug has been introduced in Xen 3.2.2 (and still reproducable with Xen 3.2.3)
which causes the guest to freeze at boot and xen floods the console with this 
messages:

(XEN) platform.c:1049:d6 handle_mmio: failed to get instruction
(XEN) instrlen.c:252:d6 Cannot read from address 802eb001 (eip 802eb001, mode 
2)

The problem is reproducable on AMD K8 machines.
Attached patch fixes this.

Signed-off-by: Christoph Egger <Christoph.Egger@xxxxxxx>
